How does the theme of self-destruction emerge
in the poem?
the narrator stares at the bird
o perched on the bust above his door
and screams at it to leave.
the narrator states that his soul is
burning after discovering that lenore
is not outside his bedroom door.
o
the narrator grieveing for his lost
love, lenore, obsesses about seeing
her again.
the narrator continually asks the
raven distressing questions, knowing
the answer will always be the same.
