| Abstract In literary and cultural studies, the gothic is a genre or mode whose dark imagery often includes medieval ruins, supernatural occurrences, and demonic protagonists. To show Poe's use of the gothic elements in his poem "The Raven" is the aim of the present study. The study falls into five sections. The first section forms the introduction that deals with the definition of the gothic term and alludes to its origin. While the second section treats the literary use of the gothic style which came into being in (1764) when Horace Walpole published his novel The Castle of Otranto which became a sample of the gothic novel that was followed later by other novelists. The third section tackles Poe's distinguished gothic style, which addresses man psychologically. His imaginative, mysterious mad heroes and his nightmare world are also discussed. The fourth section offers a short definition of Poe's "The Raven" and gives a general idea about the poem. The core of the study is represented by the last section, which displays the gothic elements in "The Raven". | ||
