This is what I thought after I read the Raven.

"The Raven: is a symbol of imagination for a man that imagines a raven is a message from God, intended to relieve him from the pain because of how much he has suffered with a great loss. Also, the raven reflected Poe’s life experiences, including living a life of poverty and being orphaned at a young age and the losses of his beloved wife, and death after a long illness. As he lived a life full of negativity, he had a depressive state of mind over his loss. He lives in deep darkness.
The dark night remind him how weak, lonely and sorrowful he felt. It also reminded him of his lost love, Lenore. He gets a feeling and accepts what has happened in his life and he will accept the end. His wife soul and his past are constantly tapping at the door and then the window in order to make him remember.
"The Raven" is a sign of death. Also, the word, “Nevermore” shows that the narrator had enough pain in his life.
If we look to the raven as a massage from his wife, we will find the beauty and love of how he wanted to remember her or how her soul came back to visit her beloved husband.
If we look to the raven as sad and dark tale, we will see the death that came to take him away or to remind him the painful past?
