Although the raven only says “[n]evermore,” the speaker continues talking to it, asking it if he’ll ever see his beloved Lenore again in the afterlife. When the raven again replies “[n]evermore,” the persona begins to despair, calling the bird a “thing of evil” and ordering it to leave.

The mouse ensnared by the trap is included to show that the speaker truly will never again trust love, always afraid that it is a deception. This displays that it will be hard for the speaker to ever love again because he does not wish to endure the same pain he has previously dealt with.
