Analyzing Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee

The two poems “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe and the poem, “i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)” by E E Cummings share the same similarities because they both have the same theme of love. In the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe, the author writes the poem in a very overwhelming and emotional way. In this poem, Poe talks about losing a loved one and having that person taken away from them. Even though the poem is very gruesome and mentions death, it still is very powerful due to the theme of love. In a passionate and determined tone the author states, “But our love was stronger… Nor the demons down under the sea/can ever dissever my soul from the soul/of the beautiful Annabel Lee” (Poe 27, 31-33). In the poem “i carry your

“Annabel Lee,” a poem written by the famous Edgar Allen Poe in the year of 1849 includes many tone words to give its readers a chilling feeling. The author starts the poem with a warm and loving feeling, then ends off the poem leaving the readers with a creepy and chilling vibe.

Edgar Allen Poe never knew his parents, his mother passed away when he was only three year old, nor was His father part of his life. Poe had two other siblings one named William whom was a poet himself before he passed and another sibling, Rosalie who worked as a penmanship at a all girls school. When Poe was a little after three his mother and father passed.

Edgar Allen Poe is a talented and well-known American author. He has written many different short stories and poems, which are now considered to be classics. The theme of his poem “Annabel Lee” is ‘You need to let go of your grief and move on or it will consume you’. Three different literary elements that help to emphasize the theme are the imagery, mood, and repetition found in the poem.

It was Reinhold Niebuhr who said “Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” The concept is that love is something magical and strong that can always however be lost; you have the power to choose what to gain from the experience. Basically when love is separated or broken you and only you can either decide to dwell on the sadness, or accept it and move on completely because of the reality that bad things can and will happen to everyone. In these two poems the theme shared is love and/or love after one has parted ways whether in life or in death; the difference however is how the authors portray the meaning of love and their lives after the love one is gone. In “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe the main character has becomes completely lost in anguish and cannot seem to move on, whereas in “A valediction; Forbidding Mourning” by John Donne the narrator is accepting of the goodbye because he knows that spiritually they and their love will always be together. The contrasting events that take place are the tragic events after their loved ones being lost, which shows the difference in personalities from authors Poe and Donne and how they view love after a separation.

The poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe is a very detailed poem. It used many vivid words to describe his loved for Annabel Lee. The tone in the poem is depressing. The moods created by the tone words were envious, happy, and chills.

I think Edgar Allan Poe Is Professional writer and a scary author. I believe this because in his writing he makes his writing horror, sad, and suspenseful. I also believe that Poe's life is interesting because when poe was younger his parents died than he went into foster care. than he he married his thirteen year old cousin named virginia, than in 1830 he publicly married Virgina. When Virginia turned 20 she died than poe landed in a deep depression, and ended up in Poverty,Poe become severely depressed and some say insane for how he wrote. His death was mysterious because nobody knew how he died. He was found in a tavern with someone else’s clothes, and there are still many theories of how he died.

In my opinion I believe that Shakespeare’s poem is the one that I find to be more agreeable for me. The realistic approach of Shakespeare loving his partner with all of her flaw put a smile on my face because it shows that you do not need to be the textbook definition of perfect to find your own form of true love. Although every girl wants to hear that her boyfriend thinks she is the prettiest thing in the world, I think it is more caring if the emotions and feelings expressed towards you were meant was compassion yet seriousness. Having someone love me with my flaw is more important than someone ignoring my flaws and pretending that they see me as perfect, knowing that nobody is perfect. In conclusion, I enjoyed reading because of these poems but I find myself relating to Shakespeare’s poem more because I connects with the everyday life that people are constantly living in, not the fairytale that people can only dream of. Shakespeare's poem, Sonnet 130, connects with the true and relatable meaning of falling in love, the type of love that has faults and imperfections, but with those imperfection a unique form a beauty is created, and that beauty in its own can be

Many people have heard love poems throughout their life, even if they haven’t received one from a significant other. They are everywhere in culture, songs, movies, and school curriculums. When one thinks of a standard love poem, one thinks of sappy, over romantic language that’s normally adoring, happy and focused on life. Edgar Allan Poe was the writer of a few love poems, and he had a habit of turning this stereotype on its head, such as in his poem “Annabel Lee.” Instead of life, Poe pursues the notion that love persists through the parting that death puts between lovers, expressing it with elements such as the different interpretations of the archetype of the sea and overhauled symbols.

Why do people oftentimes stay up way past their bedtimes reading a book? Why do they spend every and any chance they get reading their chosen book? Well for most, it’s because they love that the author poured their heart and soul into the work of literature. Some authors, such as J.K. Rowling, are better at producing well written works of art than other authors like E.L. James (Full offense).

Do you visualize a story when you are reading? Some readers view the story they are reading and some don’t. Some authors are good at using words that will make you visualize where your main character looks like or where the setting is. Take Edgar Allen Poe for example. He’s a creepy, twisted man so he wrote creepy, twisted stories. This could be because of his experiences throughout his life or that is just what he likes. ZZ Packer on the other hand writes normal stories. There is nothing dark or twisted about her. Each of these authors gives you a different visualization in each of their stories.

In the poem "Annabel Lee," American/Romantic poet Edgar Allan Poe contrasts two main points of his view of the story. He takes the readers through the time he meant her to the time of her death. Poe also takes us to when they "meant by the sea", to where she is buried at the same location. Poe makes it clear in the poem that his love for Annabel Lee was more than just a teeange crush.

Edgar Allan Poe is an important American writer who is famous for both his short stories and poems. He lived between the years of 1809 and 1849, and at the age of 27, Poe married his 13 year-old cousin Virginia Clemm. In 1847, Poe’s beloved wife died and caused him much sadness. This tragedy inspired his favored theme of the speaker experiencing the death of a beautiful young wife and the tone of sadness about this death, which is reflected in most of his poems. He defined poetry as “… the rhythmical creation of beauty….” Each of his poems has rhythm, especially internal and external rhymes, alliteration, and the favored sounds of l, s, ō, and r. His poems also display sadness, which, according to Poe, was the most beautiful emotion. Poe’s poem “Annabel Lee” is an effective example of his favorite subject and definition of poetry.

"Annabell Lee": whew, this ballad initiates off looking homogeneous to a pleasant, calm Fireside lyric, possibly about a sovereign and princess in a Kingdom by the Sea—however that ain't where it comes full circle up! Poe indited the sonnet about Virginia and his grieving of her passing. Until around 1870 sentimentalism affected each legitimate kind of American indited work. As an American adjustment of the sentimentalism, an insightful essentialness kenned as reflective theory caused in (starting to come to pass) England. Like sentimentalism contemplative rationality surrendered both, Eighteenth-century rationale and set up religion which for the visionaries hailed the Puritan tradition solidly. They were affected by sentimentalism, solidly

"But we loved with a love that was more than love" (Poe Line 9). Love is one of the most important things to have in life, whether it is with family, friends, or that special someone, but that does not mean it will be perfect because everyone has problems. Love can be complicated; it may not be defined so easily or fit the normal standard of love. Sometimes love comes with a desire or an obsession. The inspiration of "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe was inspired by the women that had passed away in his life, but since Poe had written the poem after his wife 's death, it is probably more about her. In "Porphyria 's Lover" by Robert Browning, there was no real inspiration except the fact he was just very into dramatic love. Robert Browning in the impulsive "Porphyria 's Lover" and Edgar Allan Poe in the somber "Annabel Lee" explore the theme of complicated love all throughout their poems and also their use of visual imagery, metaphors, and similes.
