assistant
The poem is called “The Raven” because the main character in the poem is a raven. The poem is about a raven that talks to a man who is madly in love with a woman. The raven says that he will kill the man’s beloved if the man does not give him a gift. The man gives the raven a lock of his hair, and the raven kills the woman. The man is so heartbroken that he takes his own life.
