The Raven was not only a story about Poe's early childhood but was also how poetry had affected his life. Poe wrote The Raven not just to start writing but to show how his life originally started out hard and then he never gave up and now he has become a successful poet. Edgar's parents had died when he was at a early age and he had been adopted by a really nice adoptive mom but his adoptive dad was really mean and was a drunk. His adoptive parents were not any better then the way his real parents were.
Poe's grief at his mother's passing had such a profound effect on both his life and his writing because of how much he loved and treasured her.

He 's grieving over the loss of the woman named Leonor, it sounds as if she was his wife or at the very least his lover
