Think deeply about the choice of point of view. How does using a first person narrator impact the poedm? It enhances the emotion and suspense because the narrator explains his fears as he experiences terror. It makes it more difficult to understand how the narrator was feeling. It makes it challenging for the reader to relate to the main character. The narrator sounds completely unrelatable.

The use of the first person in The raven enhances the emotion and suspense because the narrator explains his fears as he experiences terror.

Although it may seem unrelatable if read lightly, the pom talks about topics such as loneliness and lost, topics which we all can relate to in one way or another, just maybe not in this 19th century prose which we are not used to nowadays.
