The poem provides a BelatedHappyEnding to ''The Raven'', as the cat takes care of the raven problem as one might expect a cat to do. A copy of the poem can be found [[https://www.monologues.co.uk/Parodies/The_Raven.htm here]]. Not to be confused with the Swedish film, ''Film/RavensEnd''.

!!The End of the Raven contains the following tropes:
* TheAlcoholic: Poe seems to be this, likely due [[DrowningMySorrows to mourning]] [[TheLostLenore his lost Lenore]].
* CatsAreSnarkers[=/=]FirstPersonSmartass: The cat has a rather ironic tone in describing the mad standoff between Poe and the raven and how ridiculous the situation would look to an outsider.
* DeadlyLunge: The raven does not survive the cat's deadly pounce.
* IntellectualAnimal: Poe's cat is credited as the author of the poem, and considering it perfectly mimics Poe’s original structure, that's quite impressive.
* IntrovertedCatPerson: The reclusive Poe's only companion is his cat.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: [[NoNameGiven The unnamed protagonist]] of the original poem is now identified as Poe himself.
* NonProtagonistResolver: The cat serves as this for the original poem.
* NotEnoughToBury: After the cat's attack, the raven is described as "a heap of plumage, and a little gore -- only this, and not much more."
* OneHitKill: The cat takes out the raven with [[DeadlyLunge one quick pounce]].
* OriginalCharacter: There is no mention in ''The Raven'' of the protagonist having a cat.
* QuitYourWhining: The cat's killing of the raven effectively serves as this for Poe, allowing him to finally get passed his mournful self-pity.
* SuspiciouslyStealthyPredator: The cat is very mindful to make sure that "nothing clattered, creaked, or snapped, or fell, or shattered as [he] crossed the corridor."
* ToppledStatue: The poem ends with the cat knocking over the bust of Pallas for good measure.
