The theme of the poem is dark. The title is “the crow”. The raven is a bird that represents death. The story takes place at midnight in December, midnight is the end of a day, December is the last month of a year, it implies that it is the end. When he opens the door, there is no one outside, only the darkness, which brings him into the deepest fear "the darkness here... long I stood there wondering fear" (24~25) The narrator begins wondering and doubting whether it is her lost love Lenore, comes back to visit him. “And the only word spoken there was the word 'Lenore'!” (27) When he returns to his room, his thought about Lenore becomes stronger, "and my soul within me burns" (31) Then he hears something from the window, when he opens the window, the raven comes in and sits on the statue of Pallas.
