1、The RavenThe Raven was written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1844. As the best known of Poes verse, it narrated a story that a man suffering the pain of losing relatives encountered a raven at a lonely and depressed night. The tone of the verse, miserable and suspicious, derived from irreversible hopelessne
2、ss. At the same time, the hopelessness was intensified with “Nevermore” from the raven until hopelessness was hard to see.As the only word of the raven, “Nevermore” was repeated for eleven times. It was the name of the raven as well as the answer to the authors every inquiry. The word sounded like i
3、rrelevant answer; but it made people think it was very suitable for the situation. It pushed the scene of fantastic dialogue into the philosophic narration on existence value. The all that people love most is just like the ravens noise which will never come back if it is lost.A deep night in Decembe
4、r, dark and cold, is the unbearable psychological portrayal of the narrator. It is this kind of mental state attracted the raven which perched upon a bust of Pallas just above the authors chamber door. The raven conveyed the message from Hades again and again. At the same time, it took advantage of
5、its raucous and harsh word“Nevermore” to peck the broken heart of the author. In this way, the authors soul was settled down into low-floating shadow.In my mind, I think the verse does well in the following three aspects. Of course,they are worthy for us spending time appreciating it.Firstly, on the
6、 phonological processing, Edgar Allan Poe deeply dug the potential of English on the verse. Except that, he used a lot of alliteration, rhyme and harmonic rhyme. At the same time, he paid much attention on careful arrangement on the sound. In very section, there were a series of short verses compose
7、d of a long line. The order of using this way was to change atmosphere for every line. It loyally expressed the authors sad mood. This way of writing made readers impressive.Secondly, The Raven modeled two important figures: young man and the raven. The sad man lost his favorite female and attempted
8、 to be absorbed in the book in order to forget the hurt. But all he did made a futile effort. The more books he read thelonelier and sad he felt. However, at midnight, the raven symbolizing death and odiousness stepped into the cabin where the young man usually met with his lover Lenore. In addition
9、 to, the poet also modeled two significant images influencing the topic of the poem. The one of was black that the pure color could make people feel happy or dejected. The black background color could make readers feel impressed, and then they could feel the fear and sorrow in the heart of the young
10、 man.“Nevermore” emerging repeatedly could also be seen as a special figure. Except the original meaning of this word, it also had symbolized meaning. When the raven appeared on the scene, the heartbroken man asked its name. The answer of the raven was “Nevermore”. But when the mater inquired effect
11、ive medicine to remove miss for Lenore, the raven answered by “Nevermore”, as well as the master wondering whether he met Lenore again. Even when the raven was ready to leave the cabin, the “Nevermore” was the only thing that the raven remained. This word made the young man get into eternal abyss.Th
12、irdly, the scene setting was special. On the introductory part, the readers could see a sad and shrill picture in the depth of night: the gloomy atmosphere, the thrilling scene, the mysterious and depressed man, the inauspicious ravenIn a gloomy and chilly midnight, all was quiet besides the whistle
13、 of the cold wind and the voice of turning over the books. The world outside the cabin was envelopedby the deep night while the small space of inside appeared flickered under the dim ray. Suddenly, some one was gently rapping at chamber door. However, when the master opened the door, he founded noth
14、ing except relentless night and raging storm. Surprisingly, the previous knock of the door appeared again when he retuned. At the moment, the raven flew into his cabin and perched above chamber door.Finally, why the author chose midnight as the time of story happening. Midnights mean mystery and ter
15、ror. And all kinds of ghost and evil usually appeared at midnight. The terrified atmosphere established mood for appearance of the raven. It was special for the poet to set the story in a small and quiet cabin. On one hand, small and closed space contributed to the establishment of isolated and dist
16、ant Gothic horrible atmosphere. On another hand, the cabin just was throne of two lovers. The cabin wasstill same while the laughter gone with hostesss death. The young man kept watchesthe cabin and missed his lover. What kind of sadness it was? Setting the scene in thisway will arouse resonate in readers heart and make thereaders show sympathy forthe young man.The Ravenis a wonderful poem. It is worthy for us spending time reading.
