”And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting Lenore will never walk through his chamber door again, and the reality drives him into madness. It makes the man realise that this is life, not some whimsical world where nothing bad ever happens. The raven smashes this to oblivion it destroys any last semblance of the miraculous occurring. And he clings to hope, a false hope such as it is. He has lost something vital he has lost part of himself that will never grace his presence again.

The raven represents the solidarity of this.
