In the excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, the speaker is reading and trying to distract himself from his overwhelming grief for his lost love Lenore when he hears the mysterious knocking at the door.
The speaker is startled and surprised by the raven's ability to speak. Initially, the speaker questions if the bird has been trained to utter the word, but as the poem progresses, the speaker becomes increasingly captivated and tormented by the raven's one-word refrain.
It is Edgar Allan Poe.
The first question the speaker asks the raven in "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is "Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Edgar Allan Poe included "The Haunted Palace" as a poem within "The Fall of the House of Usher" to enhance the eerie and foreboding atmosphere of the story. The poem reflects the decline of the Usher family and mirrors the mental deterioration of Roderick Usher. Its themes of decay, madness, and haunting add depth to the overall mood of the narrative.
