He was a sad person!!
Michale Haley
Edgar Allan Poe's works often dealt with themes of death, loss, and the macabre, which may have contributed to his reputation for sadness. Additionally, Poe endured significant personal hardships, including the deaths of his loved ones and struggles with mental health issues, which likely influenced the melancholic tone of his writing.

∙ 12y agoEdgar Allan Poe is a famous writer for many stories and poems as well. His writings, from my point of view are rather dark, mysterious, and deep in detail. A lot of his writings aren't happy in anyway, but they are definitely impressive. You might want to Google his name or check wikepedia for more information on Mr. Poe because he does not write just poems and stories, but he was also the very first person to start the genre of detective mysteries.

∙ 13y agoi think so
Poe was not very often depressed when he wrote his poems. Most of Poe's poem were tributes to women he knew in his life. Very few poems (and even very few short stories) were of the Gothic Horror like The Raven.
The idea that Poe was greatly affected by the early death of his young wife is also not very true. She died in 1847. Poe died in 1849. The greater part of his work had already been completed by the time she died. Thus her death did not have an influence on the greater part of h.s work
