Poe uses images that appeal to the senses of sound, sight, and touch. At first, these images create a gloomy, mysterious, and tense mood. Then, the mood becomes haunting. Sound devices, such as the repetition of the name “Lenore” and its constant rhyming with “nevermore,” create a slow, haunting sound that further contributes to the spooky mood.
