Edgar chose the Raven because a Raven is a black creature that symbolized darkness, evil, and dispair; things that fellow descenters will agree upon. The Raven was what he himself called "that species of dispair which delights in self-torture."

I think that Poe used a raven as the symbol because it does symbolize darkness and despair and the whole poem that "The Raven" is about is those things. Poe was somewhat of a "dark" man as some would put it, and his poems are just a reflextion of himselk in a way.
