The Raven is a really good poem. The thing that stood out most to me was its amazing rhyme scheme. Reading the poem you just flow through reading the text in a way that sounds sorrowful and catchy in your mind. The part that stood out most to me was the part were Poe's yelling at the Raven ( the raven represents the sorrow that is over him) to go away. Get out of his life, he doesn't want to deal with it anymore.
-"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul has spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!--quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
What I found anti- trascendental was the sorrow and saddness of the poem. Throughout the whole poem you can tell Poe's spilling his heart out. you can see the words: evil, demons, and devil all throught the story.the Transcendentalist believed that all people are good and everythings ok, but people like edgar Allan Poe knows that lifes not that great and bad things happen.
