The Raven" presents several elements of traditional Gothic literature. These include mystery, the grotesque, and the supernatural.
The raven's arrival is a mystery. It starts with the strange tapping at the door, but when the narrator checks, "Darkness there and nothing more" (line 24). He opens the window, and the bird flies in. The poem only gets more mysterious from there. The narrator wonders why the raven has come, but it only offers "Nevermore" as an answer. The narrator is unable to comprehend why this is the bird's response.The raven is a supernatural element. It has connections in both Heaven and Hell.
Other Gothic elements present in the poem are a gloomy setting, overall darkness to the writing and content, and a woman's death.
