Final answer:

In "The Raven," the speaker hears tapping, finds no one at the door, opens the window for the Raven to enter, and the Raven remains perched, only saying 'Nevermore' to the speaker's desperate inquiries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrative poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe unfolds as follows:

  1. The speaker hears tapping at the door.
  2. Upon finding no one at the door, the silence and darkness prompt the speaker to whisper the name 'Lenore'.
  3. The speaker opens the window, leading to the entrance of the Raven.
  4. The Raven flies in and perches on a bust of Pallas.
  5. The speaker questions the Raven, only to receive the reply 'Nevermore'.
  6. The speaker is overcome with grief.
  7. The speaker asks if he will be reunited with Lenore after death, and the Raven responds 'Nevermore'.
  8. The poem concludes with the Raven still sitting, immovable, on the statue.
