This recording presents a complete reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven,” aiming to convey to the listener the atmosphere of mystery, mourning, and unease present in the original text.
During the narration, the intonation was carefully crafted to accompany the narrator’s emotional shifts, from initial bewilderment to growing anguish. In addition to the recitation, I sought to evoke the dramatic experience lived by the lyrical “I”: the memory of his beloved Lenore, the silence of the night, the enigmatic appearance of the raven, and the insistent repetition of the word “Nevermore,” which marks the poem’s conclusion and reinforces its melancholic tone.
Thus, this audio invites the listener to approach the work not only through visual reading but also through listening, allowing the poem’s sound to intensify the understanding of its feelings and poetic images.
