Love can drive us crazy, figuratively and literally.

Explanation:

A person in love can "lose his mind", both figuratively and literally.

In The Raven we can see how the protagonist is so in love that when he loses his loved one, he goes crazy. His own thoughts haunt him as he realizes that he will never see his beloved again.

All people see our loved one as something magical or from another world, as it happens in The Raven where he describes his beloved as an angel or as it happens in Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo sees Juliet as a Sun. But when this love is not reciprocated or a misfortune happens, as in these two works, it can lead us to our own destruction.
