Returning to his room, he again hears a tapping and reasons that it was probably the wind outside his window. When he opens the window, however, a raven enters and promptly perches "upon a bust of Pallas" above his door. Its grave appearance amuses the narrator, who asks it for its names. The raven responds, "Nevermore." He does not understand the reply, but the raven says nothing else until the narrator predicts aloud that it will leave him tomorrow like the rest of his friends. Then the bird again says, "Nevermore."
Idiom-a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. (Ex. A piece of cake)
Onomatopoeia-the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (Ex. Boom or crack)
Hyperbole-exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. (Ex.This guy escapes more times than Houdini)
I would say that this sentence is an hyperbole. This is because an idiom would be a form of figurative meaning that if different from the literal meaning. This is statement is bluntly advertised. There is no hidden meaning behind it. The word doesn’t resemble a sound either so it cannot be an onomatopoeia. I hope this helps
