The death of his mother caused him to experience death at a young age, with the feeling always sticking with him. The many sufferings that Poe had to deal with growing up, greatly affected him as a poet. Personification becomes a key aspect in many of his stories, as it allows him to create a more immense image, with a more complete style. The personification of the Raven gives the Raven a more main character role, rather than a side character, as it has a major impact on the story, had it not been for the personification. This is shown when the narrator begins to go insane as the Raven constantly says nevermore. This is a very impactful piece of literature because is gives perspective on how traumatic losing a loved one can be, and how destructive it can be in the mind. This is having to do with the main character’s love dying. In one such novel, the Raven, he personifies the Raven, having it constantly say Nevermore, causing the main character to begin to feel traumatized.
