The poem seemed at first really pointless to me. As I started to understand it I started to realize what the whole point of the poem was. The most interesting thing to me was how you can tell all the pain the guy felt for loosing his wife. It can be sad but at the same time interesting. The bird in this poem really made it interesting.
The poem describes anti-Transcendental by showing that people can really be evil. The bird in this poem took the intuition of the man. The transcendentalist believed that god was the one who controlled all that, but in this poem that was not the case. They would believe this story was completely stupid, and never could happen.
"And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted, Nevermore." This quote explains how there is evil and depression within the guy. Transcendentalist did not believe there was any evil, depression, insanity etc. in anyone. There is no bird in this world that can talk like this one did in this poem. So that just tells you it was the guys head telling him this stuff. Well the transcendentalist believed everyones mind was completely perfect and this mans wasn't.
