The Raven Why is the setting of The Raven important? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 06 Dec 01:34
The setting, itself, lends itself to the poem's mood. Consider that it is dark and dreary. It is winter time ( a time for death). The man is sitting in the shadows, and even the fireplace is casting 'ghosts' upon the floor.
