Edgar Allan Poe

In "The City in the Sea" by Edgar Allan Poe, the euphemism is evident in the way the city is described as beautiful, magnificent, and majestic despite its sinister and dark nature. The poem uses elegant language and imagery to soften the dark and gloomy reality of the city's ultimate fate and the despair of its inhabitants. Poe employs euphemistic language to create a sense of mystery and allure around the city, masking its true horror.

The paintings on the wall of the cell in "The Pit and the Pendulum" suggest a transformation of the protagonist's mental state. As he descends into madness and hallucinations, the paintings may represent his inner turmoil and the torment he is experiencing. They could also symbolize his fears and subconscious thoughts manifesting in the physical space of the cell.

Edgar Allan Poe admired the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne. He respected Hawthorne's dark, atmospheric storytelling and his exploration of psychological themes in his writing. Poe even wrote a positive review of Hawthorne's work in a literary journal.

He suggests that the story isn't portrayed as the author truly wanted if the story is interrupted. This is significant because it can completely change the reader's opinion on the story.

Edgar Allan Poe's died before his first love died. Poe's first love was Sarah Elmira Royster, not Virginia Clemm, whom he ultimately married. Virginia Clemm Poe died in 1847, about 2 years before Poe died. A few months before Poe himself died, he went back to Sarah, who was by this time married and widowed, and asked her to marry him. She accepted however Poe died before they could be married.

In the absence of a clear context, it's difficult to provide a specific answer. However, in literature, characters like Miss Havisham from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens or Mr. Bumble from "Oliver Twist" by the same author are known for taking in young individuals. These characters play important roles in shaping the development of the protagonist.

Edgar Allan Poe was 27 when he married his 13 year old cousin Virginia Eliza Clemm. They were related because David Poe Jr (Edgar's father) and Maria Clemm (Virginia's mother) were brother and sister. Marrying at a young age was quite common considering that not many medicines were available at that time and you didn't live very long. After eleven years of marriage, Virginia died of tuberculosis.

montresor makes certain that his house will be empty by telling his servants he will be out all night; he has supplied chains and wall-building materials to trap his victim.

Prince Prospero is often considered the protagonist of Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Masque of the Red Death" because he is the central character around whom the narrative revolves. Despite his flaws and hubris, the story primarily focuses on his actions, decisions, and fate as he tries to elude the Red Death.

In 'The Masque of the Red Death' by Edgar Allan Poe, Herod is a character referenced in the story as a biblical figure known for his cruelty and oppressive rule. The mentioning of Herod serves to emphasize the theme of death and the inevitability of mortality in the narrative.

In "The Fall of the House of Usher," the house collapses into the tarn, a small lake, and it is implied that Roderick Usher and Madeline Usher die inside. The story ends with the narrator fleeing the scene as the house crumbles. It is left ambiguous whether the Usher siblings survive or perish in the collapse.

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.

According to A&E's biography about him, he sometimes called her "Wifey".

Yes, Edgar Allan Poe's turbulent life, including experiences of loss, grief, and mental struggle, greatly influenced the themes present in his work. Themes such as death, madness, and the macabre are often thought to reflect his personal experiences and emotional turmoil.

In "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe, the green room represents the final stage of the disease, symbolizing death and decay. The color green traditionally conveys sickness and poison, highlighting the pervasive presence of death even within the seemingly luxurious palace.

Poe is acknowledging man's natural inclination toward rebellion. It reminds me of a similar quote: 'For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.'

The phrase "out-Heroded Herod" means to outdo or surpass someone in exhibiting extreme cruelty, violence, or extravagance. It references King Herod, known for his brutality and excesses in the Bible and other historical accounts.

A camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as humps on its back.

The leopard is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera.

They are two different animals.

The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. When the narrator sees the pendulum descending, he thinks of it as a milder way to die than by falling into the pit.

There are several misconceptions about Poe due to exaggerated or biased accounts from people who knew him. In addition, early literary critics often focused on sensationalizing aspects of his personal life rather than on his writing. Many of these myths and misconceptions have persisted over time and become ingrained in popular culture, leading to a distorted image of Poe.

Yes, Edgar Allan Poe's works are known to have influenced authors like Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner. O'Connor's use of Southern Gothic elements and Faulkner's exploration of dark, psychological themes in his writing show echoes of Poe's influence on their work.

In the manga and anime, Black Cat: There is two cats. There is a random white cat that appears every so often. Then there is a black cat which appears once in the first chapter.

In "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe, there is two cats. One which is hanging on a noose. And another which the narrator finds which he adopts.

The title "The Black Cat" symbolizes the theme of superstition and misfortune associated with black cats, as well as the cat's role as a key element in the story. It sets the tone for the eerie and mysterious events that unfold in the narrative.
