What happens when the speaker asks the raven to leave? What is the speaker's condition at the end of "The Raven"?

At the end
of Poes , the character demands that the bird depart because of the stress it is causing him.
The bird, the moment of the s profound anguish and despair, simply remains, observing him
without moving. The bird is representative of the poets longing and heartbreak over his former
love, Lenoire, and it refuses to leave. This shows that the protagonist cant simply force his
feelings and despair away, but must work through them one way or another.

At
the end of the poem, the main character is in deep despair and heartbreak. Not only has he lost
his love, but now the Raven is acting as a reminder, bellowing her name and forcing him to
relieve her memory over and over again. Because of this, he falls into a deep depression and is
left lonesome and heartbroken, in an even worse state than he was earlier.
