Which is the point of view in "The Raven," and what effect does it have on the reader's interpretation of the text?

First person. It shows the reader the narrators thoughts and perspectives only, i.e. the reader doesn't know what is reality and what is not.

It is written in third person so the reader understands both the speaker and the raven. Hope this helps!
