Edgar Allan Poe

The speaker knew Annabel Lee many years ago, when she was a girl, and they both lived "in a kingdom by the sea." Even though they were only children, these two were really, seriously in love. So in love that even the angels in heaven noticed and were jealous. Maybe that was a bad thing, because our speaker blames the angels for killing his girlfriend

Edgar Allan Poe has lots of pretty well-known stories, but maybe the most famous is "The Tell-Tale Heart." Other famous ones are "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "Murders in Rue Morgue."

The raven is the ominous bird of yore in Edgar Allan Poe's poems, most famously in his poem "The Raven." The raven is a symbol of death and mournful remembrance, haunting the narrator with its repeated refrain of "Nevermore." It adds to the eerie and gothic atmosphere of Poe's works.

In 1860, the gravestone was destroyed when a train ran off the tracks in a train yard next to the monument company and onto the company's property destroying the stone.

The major symbolism is the house itself as a symbol for the Usher family. A family line from its ancestors to its descendants was commonly known as the "House" of that family. As the narrator rides up to the house he notes that the structure is old and in disrepair. This symbolizes state the Usher family, or House, itself is in. We learn that the sole surviving members are Rodrigo and his sister, who dies during the story. Rodrigo himself later dies leaving no descendants. At the end of the story the decrepit house collapses. Thus, both the house (the structure) and the House (the family) of Usher fall.

Virginia C. Allen did not join the military. She was a volunteer and civilian employee for Army Intelligence during World War II.

It is possible he had alcohol in his system when he was found incoherent on 3 October 1849. It is highly unlikely (after four days in a hospital) he still had alcohol in his system when he died on the 7th.

• Frances Allan was often ill during their 26 years of marriage.
• Their marriage produced no children.
• They disagreed about being foster parents to Edgar Allan Poe.
• John Allan had numerous affairs in their house especially later on in the marriage when Frances was sick, and he fathered more than one illegitimate child.

Poe likely chose the name Fortunato for its ironic meaning. As a character who ultimately meets an unfortunate end, the name adds a layer of tragedy and dramatic irony to the story. It emphasizes the idea of fate or fortune playing a role in his demise.

No, Edgar Allan Poe did not cut his ear off. This is a misconception often confused with the painter Vincent van Gogh, who did cut off a portion of his own ear. Poe's cause of death is still a mystery and theories range from alcohol poisoning to rabies.

The length of time a body is held in the morgue can vary depending on the circumstances. Generally, bodies are held in the morgue until they are released to a funeral home or next of kin for burial or cremation. Some morgues have specific guidelines on how long they can hold a body before it must be released.

Rufus Wilmot Griswold. Poe and Griswold had a problematic relationship in which each had some respect and disrespect for each other. The disrespect part grew more pronounced until they were virtual enemies of one another. After Poe's death Griswold wrote an unflattering obituary of Poe, which he signed "Ludwig", probably fearing the reaction that would be levelled against him because of it. In addition, after Poe's death, Griswold published a treatise of Poe's works and then wrote a negative biography of Poe himself. Many negative items in the biography were outright untruths.

Some psychologists and others have speculated Poe may have been bipolar. There is no real proof of this since this was not a term or diagnosis used in his lifetime. He seems to have suffered greatly from depression and was not always capable of making the best decisions in his life.

The sad refrain of "The Raven" is 'nevermore.' Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poem repeats the word at the end of the last 11 verses.

Edgar Allan Poe is best known for his short stories and poems rather than novels. Some of his most famous works include "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Raven," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Masque of the Red Death."

the setting was clear in countryside (but there was a movement from the city to the countryside) because the events took place in it and the time was in the season of automn and it was in the evening that's it.

When Edgar Allan Poe's foster father John Allan died, he left Poe with nothing because he said that Poe had too much of a bad attitude, that he refused to get along and would never become anything because of his attitude...

Poe's mother became a widow when her first husband, Charles Hopkins died on October 26, 1805. Later she married David Poe, Edgar's natural father thereby becoming Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe. She died a few days before her second husband David, therefore she did not become a widow for a second time. Although David Poe died after his wife, he did abandon the family not too long after Poe's younger sister Rosalie was born.

The sister had died so Usher wanted to bury her. He did not want doctors to do an autopsy.

I found all of my information on Google. I typed in the google search engine Interesting facts about Poe. A couple of the answers that I got were:

1. Poe was never "legally" adopted.

2. When he was 27, he married his 13-year-old cousin.

3. Many women he cared about or loved very much died from tuberculosis.

4. His last words were 'Lord help my poor soul.'

5. No one knows why he died.
