In the raven by Edgar Allan Poe the speaker grows curious and asks the raven an initial question. What is the first question the speaker asks the raven
The first question the speaker asks the raven is what is his name. Here is the direct line from the poem: Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” The poem is about a sad and miserable narrator who has just lost the love of his life and he is mourning her, and realizing that he will never see her again. The Raven is a symbol of her death, and his inability to be with her once more.
