The Raven; Cause of Misery

This is the continuation of my piece "The Raven; A Tale of sorrow." I feel that that is the stronger piece, because I took more time with the other piece, and put more passion into it. I still hope you enjoy this though. 

After the main character of “The Raven” begins to speak to the raven in the poem, this sets the events into motion. He begins ask it questions about the raven’s origin, and the raven simply replies, “Nevermore.” He begins to become weary of this answer, and eventually upset. However, when he begins to ask of his beloved Lenore, (Who had passed away.) the raven again replies, “Nevermore.” He begins to realize what the meaning of, “Nevermore,” is. He realizes that he will never truly be over the death of Lenore, and he shall love ‘Nevermore.’ Similarly, to how Misha realizes that he will never love another like he loved Janinina in Milkweed.  

The wheels had been set into motion when the main character had begun to speak to the raven, and from that small action, it caused him to realize he will never love again. It is sad that one action can cause such misery in a person, but that is what love is, love is learning to move on, and if you truly love something, the memory of the love will keep you going. Love can transcend age, size, color, time, and even death.
