"The Raven" by Allen Poe

 In the poem, the raven, by Allen Poe talks about a man who is haunted by a raven. But not very many people know the real reason of the poem. During Poe's time, a lot of his love ones in the past die by Tuberculosis. It haunted him like how it in the poem the raven haunted the man. He tried to forget about it at sometimes like the character trying to forget who was at the door. many people say behind the story was the loss of his younger wife, who was also his cousin. It wasn't true, because the time he publish The Raven he started to realize she had Tuberculosis. Back in the day many people were scare of the story of it. Today, it's not, but if you read it closely or find hints, you can know how scary it is. For example, the setting and how the poem is tell. In the setting, he quoted "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary," it says that it's in midnight and in other parts it says its in December and dark. This shows that with the setting of how it's dark and midnight it makes it scary.
