Answered by admin @



Answer:

On a cold December evening, the unnamed narrator is alone in his home, trying to read. He hears a soft knock at his door as he is about to fall asleep, but continues to ignore it. He says that in hopes of relieving his sorrow over Lenore, his beloved, who passed away, he was reading. Though he tries to reassure himself that nothing is there, he is overcome by his curiosity and fear. Eventually, he opens his door and asks, "Lenore?" "From the darkness. When he hears his window tapping, he It also opens, and a Raven flies inside his room, landing on the Pallas Bust. The narrator jokingly asks the name of the Raven, and is shocked to hear "Nevermore" responding. He mutters to himself that the Raven will possibly abandon him just as his friends and loved ones did, to which "Nevermore" responds once again. The narrator then sits directly in front of the bird, trying to understand what "Nevermore" means. The narrator unexpectedly learns that angels sent by Heaven have caused the air to become thick and fragrant. Anxious, he asks the Raven if the angels are a sign that heaven will relieve him of his sorrows, to which the bird again responds, "Nevermore." The bird refuses his hope of seeing Lenore in heaven again with the same response, as well as his impassioned plea for the bird to leave him alone. Finally, the narrator tells us that the Raven continued to sit on top of the door of his chamber.
