When the narrator opens the door and looks out in "The Raven," he half expects to find what?

When he
hears a "rapping, rapping" at his chamber door, the narrator says he thinks it is
"nothing more" than a visitor. However, as he stands in his room listening to what he
calls "the fantastic terrors," such as the rustling of his curtains, he begins to feel
afraid. The second time he says it is nothing more than a visitor, he sounds like he is trying
to convince himself that there is nothing behind the door that can hurt him. He doesn't say what
he expects, but when he opens the door to reveal nothing but darkness, he calls out the name
""the woman whose death the narrator seems to be mourning.

Later in
the poem, the narrator asks the raven whether he will be reunited with Lenore in
heaven.
