The narrator of the poem becomes more paranoid and hallucinatory as the poem goes on.
Explanation:
The narrator of the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe is a man who is illusion-ed and in a state of frenzy as he imagines a raven coming to his window and tapping on it.
It begins polite enough even with a little horror in the way of it:
'Suddenly there came a rapping,
rapping at my chamber door
it is a guest and nothing more'
Soon after, the narrator becomes paranoid of the voices and begins to fall for his own insecurities and the horror of the situation he is in.
