Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe's life was marked by tragedy, including the early death of his parents and his young wife. He struggled with alcoholism and depression, which influenced his dark and macabre writing. Poe's obsession with death, horror, and the supernatural contributed to his reputation as a "weird" or eccentric individual.

Edgar is an Old English name that dates back to the 900s A.D. It means "glad spear." Several famous people have had the name Edgar, including Edgar Degas and Edgar Allen Poe.

1827
It's estimated that Poe wrote his first full poem called "O, Tempore! O, Mores!" around 1825, but it was never published during his lifetime. He wrote bits and pieces of verse before that, but that is thought to be his first full writing.
Edgar Allan Poe began writing in West Point, Virginia as an editor. He started writing as an editor in 1836. However, he wrote words on a tombstone ("The requiem for the loveliest dead that ever died so young.") in 1835.

Poe's first love was Sarah Elmira Royster to whom Poe was secretly engaged years before he married Virginia Clemm. Sarah's father would not approve of the marriage and began to intercept letters from Poe to her, making her think Poe had forgotten her. She then married Alexander B. Shelton, who died in 1844. After Poe's wife died in 1847, he went back to Sarah and asked her to marry him. At first she declined, but then in August 1849 she accepted. Unfortunately, Poe died on October 7, 1849, before the wedding could take place.

Edgar Allan Poe's single effect idea focused on creating a mood or emotional response in the reader through his writing. He believed that stories should evoke a specific feeling, such as fear or melancholy, and that all elements of a story should work together to achieve this effect. Poe's aim was to immerse the reader in a particular emotional experience that lingered long after finishing the story.

Edgar Allan Poe believed that the short story was a suitable literary form for Americans due to the fast-paced nature of American society, as well as the limited attention span of readers. He also believed that the short story format allowed for greater creativity and experimentation in storytelling.

Edgar Allan Poe's birth mother was Elizabeth Arnold Poe. She died December 8, 1811, in Richmond, Virginia, of unknown cases (possibly pneumonia). Edgar was two years old when she died. they died of tuberculosis!!

There is no evidence of a conspiracy concerning the death of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe, age 40 years, was found lying unconscious on September 28, 1849, outside a saloon. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died four days later. The case was reviewed by R. Michael Benitez M.D., a cardiologist at University of Maryland Medical Center and published his findings in September 1996.

Dr. Benitez's conclusion was that Poe died of rabies after studying Poe's records from his hospitalization. Benitez stated that rabies was most likely the killer despite little evidence of a bite. Benitez claimed that only 27% of rabies victims remembered being bitten.

Although not as intriguing as a conspiracy of murder, a plot Poe used in his stories, Dr. Benitez's findings are as accurate as can be under the circumstances.

A dark, crumbling mansion enveloped in fog with gnarled trees surrounding it, set against a stormy sky personifies the House of Usher. It should evoke feelings of gloom, decay, and impending doom.

In "To the Lake," Edgar Allan Poe expresses the idea that even if someone's love may be genuine, its impact on the recipient may vary depending on their feelings and willingness to accept it. The poem suggests that love alone is not enough to guarantee reciprocation or fulfillment in a relationship.

The title of Edgar Allan Poe's only completed novel is "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket," commonly known as "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym."

No. Prospero is however, sadistic. He revels in testing peoples resolve, and learning their true natures. He also applies the proper scorn and wrath to those who 'fail' his tests as he sees them as below him and expendable. As opposed to being a certified mental case, he is rather a self-professed Satanist, whose view of the world is derived from his utter cynicism about the nature of man, which he has come to accept, and it is not a very charitable asessment.

He established the horror genre as we know it
