Edgar Allen Poe
The Dark- Gothic genre of literature is very interesting. Two of the most famous authors were Edgar Allan Poe and O’Connor. They were both very similar, but at the same time very different in their styles of writing.
First, Edgar Allan Poe was a very interesting artist. Most of his stories were very gloomy. In fact, many characters died in his works. Immoral actions were displayed commonly by the characters in his stories. Also, Poe used a very high amount of difficult words in his works. Although Poe was poor, his vocabulary shown in his works leads me to believe that he was an educated man. His works, however, had a trend to show the same patterns of mischief in them.
Second, O’Connor was a very interesting author as was Poe. His works were not quite as violent as Poe’s, but there was more deception. O’Connor’s works were not as gloomy as Poe’s, but the characters in his works did have their moments when they were seemingly depressed. O’Connor’s works were also very catchy. I was humored by not only the characters, but by the events that occurred in his works.
Last, there are many comparisons that can be made between Poe and O’Connor. Poe’s work The Purloined Letter and O’Connor’s work Good Country People showed similarities between the two authors. These stories showed the deception and lies that the authors displayed through the characters in their works. The two often had gloomy moods for their stories because of the sin that occurred frequently in the plots of their works. Another difference between the two is the settings and the endings. Poe’s works started off more depressing and O’Connor’s works ended more depressing. However, I felt that Poe’s works were harder to understand and follow because of the high amount of dialect. O’Connor’s works did not have as much dialect.
In conclusion, Poe and O’Connor both entertained me greatly with their works. In respect, I would say they were both great authors. However, I would recommend O’Connor over Poe to
