S3 E Halloween - The Raven - The Philosophy of Composition - The Breakdown

  • Summary

  • Spooktacular October Ghosties and Ghoulies,

    What do you think of first when you hear, “The Raven?”

    Fear?

    Terror?

    The Simpsons?

    Death?

    Well, we thought of all of those things and more throughout this breakdown episode of “The Raven,” by Edgar Allen Poe. This eerie poem is a rollercoaster of emotions, and can elicit different ones from person to person. The foremost emotion felt by most is that of loss, and mourning. Poe had the intent to elicit dread from the audience, as pointed out in his essay, “The Philosophy of Composition,” produced a year after “The Raven.” Was he defending his own writing, or laying the groundwork to shape future generations of poets?

    Find out in this week’s breakdown episode.
