Answer :
Poe set 'The Raven' in a dark room, which also matched the tone of the story, which is dark and mysterious
Answer:
The mood and setting of the poem all added to the speaker's solitude, melancholic and aloofness.
Explanation:
Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven" tells the lonely and melancholy tale of the speaker's loss of his love and his longing for her. The raven who visited him late at night is the only visitor that he had, and that also intensifies his melancholy with its recurring response of "nevermore" to every question of the speaker.
The mood of the poem is a melancholy one, full of grief and sadness on the part of the speaker. Although at first he was happy about the raven's visit, as their interaction goes, he became more and more reminded of Lenore who had died and left him all alone.
This sad and lonely mood is again intensified with the setting of the story. Occurring on a dreary midnight on a bleak December, the raven came to the lonely cottage of the narrator, tapping on its door. This aloof setting of the cottage also added to the grieving solitude of the speaker.
