It interesting: I always imagined the narrator to be an old antiquarian, somewhat well-to-do, regretting his lost love, nearing the end of his life which he spent in the nepenthe of his books. Kind of a Mrs. Haversham figure. And the raven come to wake him back to active misery.
Wonderfully written. Insightful explanation of a great lyric poem.
Thank you! 🖤
