In my opinion, I believe it is not obsessional because writing poetry is a way to let out all the negative emotions onto paper, such as Edgar Allan Poe. He wrote Annabel Lee to describe his relationship with another woman in real life, but it is still a controversy today as to who the poem was inspired by. One theory is that it represents each and every death of Poe's wives (a death of a woman), including his mother. Another is Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe, who died of tuberculosis in 1847. There is somewhat a connection, with Annabel Lee dying of a gust of wind of some sort, and tuberculosis to Virginia was similar to that (figuratively), but a breathing problem.
The lines "But we loved with a love that was more than love— / I and my Annabel Lee" indicate the deep and unwavering love between the speaker and Annabel Lee, suggesting her loyalty to him.
The concrete subject of "Annabel Lee" is the speaker's intense and undying love for Annabel Lee, even after her death. The poem explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of that love beyond the grave.
The poem "Annabel Lee" is considered an elegy because it mourns the death of the speaker's beloved, Annabel Lee. It expresses grief and longing for the lost love, and reflects on the impact of death on their relationship. The tone and themes of the poem evoke a sense of lamentation and remembrance, which are common elements of elegiac poetry.
"The shift" in "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe occurs when the speaker transitions from describing his love for Annabel Lee to the tragic death of Annabel and its impact on him. This shift reveals the speaker's deep sorrow and longing for his lost love.
Annabel lee is his soulmate
Annabel Lee refers to Virginia, Edgar Allan Poe's wife. When she died, he became really depressed and wrote a bunch of poems about her using different names such as his love, Annabel Lee, Lenore, the angel and such. So Annabel Lee's husband is Edgar Allan Poe, basically.
"Annabel Lee" is a narrative poem written by Edgar Allan Poe. It tells the story of the narrator's love for a woman named Annabel Lee, and how her death leads to his grief and longing for her. The poem explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural.
The meaning of the name Annabel is 'Easy to love'.
The narrator is mourning for his lover because she is dead and they can never physically see each other again. But their love can't ever be broken.
The angels in heaven were presumably jealous of the narrator and Annabel Lee's unrelenting love. In fact, they were so jealous they took Annabel Lee (through death) away from the narrator, leaving him without his precious love. This goes to say that the love between the two was so great and so pure, it even made the angels and heaven enviable.
Annabel lee dies from a chill
The speaker describes the love he shared with Annabel Lee as deep and pure, extending beyond this world into the afterlife. He believes that their love was stronger than the angels in heaven and that nothing could ever sever their bond.
