This is a post for the ballad Journal Entry.
Ballad Title: The Three Ravens
Author: Unknown
Time period: 16th Century
Journal Entry
To start off, the title of this poem stood out to me because it reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven. The dialect is definitely indicitive of the time period. The ballad seems to be in reference to a time period where knights were commonplace. Perhaps a medieval setting?
The raven has a symbolic meaning of scavenging in this ballad. After one raven asked "where should we our bradefast take," the other responded with "there lies a knight slain under his shield." This indicates that they (the ravens) intend on salvaging the remains of the ruined knight.
