Edgar Allan Poe was a master of horror who was truly able to build suspense in a very psychological way. In "The Raven", the author also shows the character's fear. What is so interesting about this particular poem is that there are mixed feelings within the narrator: at the same time he misses his beloved one who had passed away, he is afraid of seeing her ghost, as we can see in the stanza. The raven (the bird itself) represents both sorrow and horror.
