What tragic events from Edgar Allan Poe?

Poe was left an orphan at the age of 3 when he was adopted by a childless man named Allan. I think the fact he was left at such a young age had to have an influence on his life. He also wasn't very successful in college or the military. All of these factors plus his drug abuse had an influence on his writing. A childhood event that influenced Edgar Allan Poe's writing is his mothers death. his mothers death :( EDIT: Edgar Allan Poe was very successful at the University of Virginia scholastically for the year he attended. It was his lack of finances that caused him to drop out of school. He was honorably discharged from the US Army with the highest non-commissioned rank though he was thrown out of West Point Military Academy (possibly intentionally). Drugs and alcohol were probably less of a factor with Poe than is commonly assumed. The deaths of Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard, Frances Allan, and his brother, William Henry Leonard, may have had some effect. His ongoing feud with his foster father, John Allan, also likely had a profound effect on his thinking though the biggest influences on his writing may have been his sense of humor and his wild imagination.
