What is the point of view for the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe?

Answer 1

Dear question maker,

You have made a very good question in front of this great board! It's though tough to answer this question, yet, I wish to give a try to see whither shall it satisfy you or not!

A poet, or any artist, is always prejudiced of his poetry and art respectively. Some are in the list of rare examples who had not the time to see their own written poems with any view. I like the best, John Keats, in this list. He was never aware of his own writings.

Now, how does a poet view his poetry? He first compares it, perhaps with the "touchstone" method if he is a good poet. He tries to match the excellence of ancient masters in his own verse. He tries to judge with his own judgment, which is always wrong perhaps!

Moreover, if the poet is 'an orphan Muse' then he will just try to boast his own creation and mock another, placing the both on the same surface.

Answer 2

The poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is written in the first-person point of view. The narrator describes his experience with the mysterious bird and his descent into madness as he mourns the loss of his beloved Lenore.

Answer 3

The Raven is told from the first person point of view.

Answer 4

First person - I

Second person - You

Third person (limited omniscient, omniscient, effaced) - He/she

Answer 5

That would be when you write a poem in your own perspective.
