Are there any similes and/or metaphors in "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe?

Late in Poes
career "" made him popular.  It was reported that children would chase Poe around
until he would turn toward them, raise his arms and yell "Nevermore." As far as your
question is concerned, yes there are examples of similes and metaphors in The Raven.  There
are also examples ofand .   Quoth the Raven €˜Nevermore (Raven: 48) is one example of
personification.  Birds cant really speak so the fact that Poe gave the raven a voice is
personification.  The raven says Nevermore.  A very good example of ais And his eyes have
all the seeming of a demons that is dreaming.  In this quote Poe is comparing the ravens eyes to
a demon.  An example of ais when he uses a comparison to express the narrators grief to the
ravens reply to him.   That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. (Raven:
56)   I hope this helps.

"Final associations of the
bird with evil occur in the words demon and shadow. The connection between the Ravens
shadow and the speakers soul in the last line of the poem suggests that the speaker believes
himself to be cursed by the birds presence."
