Read Poe's slightly self-satirical essay "The Philosophy of Composition" at www.eapoe.org or elsewhere for starters. The theme of remembrance as an inescapable burden beyond comfort and the contradictory revelling in that dark melancholy. The techniques (rhyme, rhythm, repetition, symbols, etc.) used to convey the mood and the progress of the narrator's self induced pilgrimage to despair. The mock dialogue with the raven which shows the absolute involvement of the individual in his own destruction despite his better judgment.
