Detailed explanation-1: -Lenore is simply dead, and the narrator is devastated when the raven says that he will not even get to meet her again in Heaven.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Meanings of the Raven Edgar Allan Poe ‘s “The Raven” employs a raven itself as a symbol of the torture, mainly the self-inflicted torture, of the narrator over his lost love, Lenore. The raven, it can be argued, is possibly a figment of the imagination of the narrator, obviously distraught over the death of Lenore.
Detailed explanation-3: -The raven’s constant refrain of “nevermore” reminds the speaker of the finality of Lenore’s absence, that he will never see her again in this life or the next, and the impossibility of forgetting her.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does the speaker in the Raven feel when her first thinks that Lenore may be at his door? Hope then terror. When the speaker describes Lenore as nameless here for evermore what does he mean? No one will speak Lenore’s name because the angels took her.
