In the raven, how does the speaker describe the bird by the end of the poem?

A. Messager from heaven

B. Stately creature

C. A companion

D. A demon

The Raven is not a symbol of a lost maiden but a symbol of death and always had been a symbol of death since the saintly days of yore. The Raven makes the speaker remember his lost Lenore. So therefore it may seem that he thought the Raven may be a Messager from Heaven

""And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming""
