In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the poet writes an elegy for a young, athletic man who recently passed away. This is naturally a sad subject, and the poet does begin his writing with a sad and somber tone of pity.
However, the author makes use of the structure of the poem in order to surprise his readers. Despite the sad tone of the first stanza, as the poem progresses, the tone becomes one of satisfaction and praise, which comes as a surprise to the reader.
The author is able to use each stanza to present different and contrasting ideas. While he agrees that dying young is a shame, he reflects on how quickly youth is gone, and on how many men lost their reputation by the time they became old. He claims that, by dying young, the athlete will never have to face old age, decline or loss of glory. Therefore, despite the sadness, the author is able to obtain some positive ideas from the situation.
The effect that this response has on the speaker is that the speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
The raven is constantly repeating the same word - nevermore. In the beginning, the narrator just thought it was a weird coincidence that the bird should say that one single word, but as time passes by, the weight of that word becomes unbearable as the narrator realizes that this word can be applied to all of his questions. So as time goes by, the narrator becomes more and more depressed about not being allowed to see his beloved and thus he falls into madness.
