An example of assonance in Poe's "The Raven" is in the line "And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain." The repeated "ur" sound in "silken" and "uncertain" creates an assonant effect, enhancing the musical quality of the poem.

Alliteration, onomatopoeia, and assonance have incantatory effects in The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. These devices are used to maintain the attention of the reader.
