Here's a good read concerning that question: Brennan, Matthew (1997): The Gothic Psyche. Camden House (currently don't know the place)

He didn't.

Someone else, named Michael Keith, re-worked the Edgar Allen Poe poem The Raven, so that the sense of the original was retained, and the number of letters in the successive words (including the title) matched the successive digits of pi.

yes he was

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.

This is one of the many rumors (many started by Poe himself) relating to the mythology of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe's mother's maiden name was Arnold, and he started the rumor that Benedict Arnold was his grandfather while at West Point, but it is decidedly untrue.

Ivan Reynolds is the main antagonist of the 2012 crime thriller film The Raven. He was the typesetter for the local newspaper who moonlighted as a serial killer with a modus operandi inspired by stories from Edgar Allan Poe. He was portrayed by Sam Hazeldine.

it shows that the narrator is guilty of what he has done and wants to tell someone but is very nervous of the consequences

The lines "But we loved with a love that was more than love— / I and my Annabel Lee" indicate the deep and unwavering love between the speaker and Annabel Lee, suggesting her loyalty to him.

Edgar Allan Poe valued elements such as beauty, truth, and the exploration of the human psyche in his works. He often focused on themes of death, madness, and the macabre, aiming to evoke strong emotions and leave a lasting impact on his readers. Poe's writing also reflected his fascination with the unknown and the mysterious aspects of life.

In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe, the room where the murders take place is found in the fourth story of a house on Rue Morgue in Paris, belonging to Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter. The room is described as being in disarray, with blood splatters and signs of a violent struggle, ultimately leading to a mysterious double murder.

One irony in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is that despite the great, seemingly unsolvable mystery of the murders, the culprit turns out to be an escaped orangutan rather than a human killer. Additionally, the fact that the solution to the mystery involves an animal committing such brutal crimes adds a layer of unexpected irony to the story.

In "The Pit and the Pendulum," the protagonist escapes his bonds by using the meat from his prison food to attract rats to chew through the ropes holding him. By cleverly taking advantage of the surrounding circumstances, he is able to free himself and avoid the swinging pendulum.

The literary term illustrated by Edgar Allan Poe's use of different colors for the room is symbolism. The colors he chooses likely represent deeper meanings or emotions within the story.

Edgar Allan Poe is best known for his macabre and Gothic tales, Ralph Waldo Emerson for his essays on transcendentalism and individualism, and Mark Twain for his witty and satirical writings, particularly "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."

The narrator's response to Usher's letter reveals his sense of duty and loyalty to his friend despite feeling unsettled, as he decides to visit Usher based on the urgent and melancholic tone of the letter. This shows that the narrator is empathetic and values his relationship with Usher enough to go out of his way to check on him.

Poe did not seriously use or have an addiction to drugs. The idea that Poe was a user of or was addicted to opium is a misconception that should be refuted. There are several reasons for this error. One is that some of the narrators of Poe's stories did use opium in the story. This has been projected by some to mean that Poe himself was using the drug, especially because Poe tended to narrate his stories in the first person. Poe had some narrators use drugs simply for literary effect within the stories.

Another reason is that some critics of his work simply used that as an excuse for their criticism. One critic deemed Poe's Tales as the "outpourings of an opium eater," but without stating that he actually was an opium eater, i.e. user.

Other reasons for not believing Poe used opium are statements from various people that knew Poe. Thomas Dunn English, a physician and Poe adversary, never accused him of it. English and Poe had been on good terms at one time and had several meetings both at English's home and at Poe's home. English at one time said that he would have known Poe was an opium user either by his physician's expertise or regular observation by his visiting with Poe so many times.

A Dr. John Carter knew and had examined Poe and stated in a letter to G.E. Woodberry, author of the book "Life of Poe", 1909, that he never knew Poe to use opium in any instance and never heard Poe mention it. Woodberry replied that he himself believed that Poe did use opium during his times away from drinking, but Woodberry never met Poe, so this is but speculation and conjecture on his part. In a later biography of Poe, Woodberry's conjecture was erroneously ascribed to Dr. Carter. This "biography" makes it seem like a doctor familiar with Poe had verified that Poe used opium.

Poe himself did make one mention of using laudanum. In a letter to Annie Richmond, Poe stated that he had attempted suicide by using laudanum. This is hardly proof that he was addicted to it. Laudanum was a commonly used medicine for pain relief at the time. Nothing remotely suggests that Poe used it other than for proper medical reasons.

Virginia Eliza Clemm, Edgar Allan Poe's first cousin, was 13 when she married Poe on May 16, 1836, but the license said she was 21 while Poe was 27.

If aman dies, his property normally goes to his spouse. If he has children from a previous marriage, the property is typically split between the current spouse and the children (natural or adopted), half going to the spouse and the other half being divided between the children. Consult a probateattorney in the appropriate state for specifics in that state.

Edgar Allan Poe, along with fellow writers Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, were the most important writers of the Dark Romanticism period. Stories such as â??The Fall of the House of Usherâ?? and his poem â??The Ravenâ?? incorporate all the elements of gothic romance: dark, decaying manses, tragic protagonists who have grown mad or depressed by tragic love affairs with beautiful women who are not necessarily alive.

One example of a clever Poe pun is "I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down." This pun plays on the idea of gravity and the phrase "impossible to put down," creating a humorous twist.
