aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The raven’s shadow has permanently darkened the speaker’s soul.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" tells abut the loss of the speaker and his feeling of dejection and loneliness after the death of his love Lenore. The raven's visit emphasizes the depth of grief and heartbreak he had to endure, is still enduring and also the aloofness of his very existence.

The last stanza of the poem shows how the raven's visit had more deeply darkened the soul of the speaker. Initially, he had enjoyed the visit, conversing with it and even asking question. But when these questions pertain to Lenore and the raven's unceasing answer "<em>Nevermore</em>" made the speaker get mad and angry at the raven. The shadow of the raven cast on the floor is a symbol of the speaker's soul permanently darkened.
