Young students regard knocking at the door in the dead of night as the return of Lenore, which shows his yearning for his dead lover Lenore, and reflects the loneliness and desolation of young students and their yearning for dawn. The second part consists of sections 7 to 14, which tells the story of the crow. The question and answer between the young man and the crow further deepened the young man's yearning for his lover. The third part consists of the last four sections, which shows young students' dissatisfaction with the crow's answer. Instead of calming down, he became more sad. [5]

The crow is Poe's famous work and masterpiece [3]. Crows are contradictory and unified in people's minds. On the one hand, they represent God and are regarded as a symbol of prophet and wisdom; On the other hand, they represent death, disaster, evil and lies. It is the contradictory unity of crow image that makes the poem "Crow" more intriguing. [6]
