In this poem it seems to me like someone is knocking on this man door and not saying anything. When he speak's they doesn't say a word. "But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-Darkness there, and nothing more". When he said this, i am thinking no one is at the door. I'm thinking it is a ghost when he say's the name Raven and the only word it mention is "Nevermore".
("Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore.") This Raven thing, i dont know if it's a ghost or what but it seems like it is telling the main character to let a person by the name Lenore go. She don't exist anymore. That's why they keep saying "Nevermore," because she will never be there anymore. He want everything thing that remind him of her out. (im thinkin) That's how i see it.
In this story, i think Anti- Transcendentalist was showed when the bird showed up with it's evil ways and the Raven too. "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! - Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted".
