In Poe literary piece in my opinion was a bit different. However, I kept wondering about the significants of the bird throughout the literary piece. I felt in the beginning the man thought positively about the meaning of "Nevermore."
"Nevermore" might signify that the man is to forget and stop grieving over his loved Lenore. It can also mean, that the Raven was trying to tell the man to move on.
The end however, was a little twisted because he started getting negative and saying it was the "thing of the evil." At this point, I felt the man was feeling guilty of something that was bothering him and he wanted some form of forgiveness. At least this is what i concluded from this piece.

I agree with you that "The Raven" gets really weird at the end mentioning the significance of evil taking place. Does it make you question exactly what the author is implying? I also believe that it was something evil as well. But, the question is just what is he guilty of? Is that how you feel?
