This short story by Edgar Allen Poe is by far one of his best works. Edgar Allen Poe, well known author and crazy man, divulges hidden information about his life with-in his short story the raven. Not nearly as good as the Black Cat in the way of finding hidden meanings but still by far a great way to shine light on his own life. It is mostly believed that Poe is actually writing about the death of his mother and the changes in his life. Hence when the poem opens it is midnight in December. It is actually New Years Eve. The Chamber is his loneliness, something Poe was alot. The Raven, often though of with bad omens saying Nevermore could very well represent his mother and what his mother went through. It can also be thought though that the Raven is actually warning Poe at the same time of the future death of his wife whome was ill at the time of writing and died two years later. I personally think the latter is the true reason behind the Ravens Nevermore. Poe realized the end was near and his beloved wife would be gone forever, thus the pain the main character is put through and the fact that a Raven is used in the first place.

Reading material from this era really adds to a post process element of association. Combining a compilation of terms for a fundamental method, many understand how one can still relate towards another projection. Meanwhile it's smooth, relaxing and another kink in the brain for knowledge. I liked it

This is such a good story. I remember reading it in high school and not knowing what all the fuss was about it. Then I re-read it a few years ago, and got it right away. It's great to see that you can get it for free here. Everybody should read this, or if you're like me a read it a long time ago, re-read it. It's worth it!!
