Poe explores the similarity of love and hate in many stories‚ especially “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “William Wilson.” Poe portrays the psychological complexity of these two supposedly opposite emotions‚ emphasizing the ways they enigmatically blend into each other.

particularly inspired by his short story ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’. After reading that specific work‚ I felt quite shocked as I could feel his character’s personality‚ tone and feelings. It felt like I was just in the mind of a schizophrenic killer‚ and the way Poe had written the story had me immersed completely.

After carefully examining Edgar Allan Poe’s conditions‚ I have come to the conclusion that Poe fell victim to a gang engaging in cooping and later died of alcohol poisoning. The Smithsonian Magazine states that Poe had a high intolerance to alcohol‚ so the reward given to him by the gang members likely influenced his death. Not only was cooping a popular practice in Baltimore at the time‚ Poe was found wandering about the streets near a voting poll where cooping was practiced. He was wearing second
