Edger Allan Poe Have you ever expressed your problems through something? Edger Allan Poe has. All his problems are expressed through his poetry as well as his sorrow. Men disappointed him through the entirety of his life, and he saw women as angels that had come to redeem him from the depths of his depression and alcoholism.HAKIEM These occurrences along with many others especially those of his childhood led Poe to become one of the greatest poets of his time. He is called “The father of horror and mystery”, as well as the father of science fiction. The analysation of Edger
Allen Poe and his poetry are extremely, closely related due to the struggles he talks about. Edger
Allan Poe’s difficult life influenced the common themes of darkness, the impact of death, and the loss of love that included in his poetry.

One good example is “The Raven”, it shows Poe’s dark poetic style. The Raven is a dark reflection on lost love, death, and loss of hope. The poem examines the emotions of a young man who has lost his lover to death and who tries unsuccessfully to distract himself from his sadness through books. Books, however, prove to be of little help, as his night becomes a nightmare and his solitude is shattered by a single visitor, the raven. Through this poem, Poe uses symbolism, imagery and tone, as well as a variety of poetic elements to enforce his theme of sadness and death of the one he loves. This poem is an example of the relation of his life and his poetry.

Like many of Poe's poems, "A Dream Within a Dream" uses the sea as a setting for a discussion of death and decay. "The City in the Sea" illustrates the imagery of a pitiless sea most clearly, with the Gothic allusions to the end of time. In "A Dream Within a Dream", the "Surf- tormented shore" becomes a second metaphor for time, as the waters of the sea slowly but inexorably pound away at the physical existence of the shore. The narrator regards the wave as

    The title of the poem, 'Beach Burial', has an ironic slant, as beaches are commonly associated with life and pleasure. Instead, the poem consists of the opposite: death and sorrow. Similarly, the poem first two stanzas include low, soft sounds, such as "softly", "humbly", "convoys" and "rolls", with the rhythm and alliteration of "swaying and wandering", which present a calm, soothing tone. However, this soothing calm is more of a grief, as illustrated by the onomatopoeia, in "sobbing and clubbing of the gunfire". The main place or action is sensed as afar, so the washing up of "dead sailors and "tide wood" represents a calm after a storm, wherein the storm is a battle out to sea.…

    Edgar Allan Poe had written many poems from The Raven to El Dorado and Lenore to Alone, though they have similar themes they are never quite the same. Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, his parents died before he was old enough to really know them and he went to boarding school. On top of that he had a gambling problem when he was younger, but there is always a silver lining. “Poe’s father and mother, both professional actors, died before the poet was three years old”(poets.org). Edgar Allan Poe has changed the world of poetry forever.…

    Poe had a really depressing childhood. His mother was an actress, which was not very high in the working class back then, who played Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet. Six or seven times a week when Edgar was very young he would have to sit and watch his mother die in the play and then be alive again afterwards back stage. This probably messed his idea of death up greatly. Then when Edgar was almost three his mother died of tuberculosis then shortly after that his father, who was an alcoholic, disappeared. Luckily after both his parents were gone the Allan family adopted Edgar and raised him like he was there own son. They moved to England where Poe was sent to a private school. All was well for a few years, but as he got older the other students at his school rejected him. He had problems with his step father; the closer he got with his new mother, the farther he drifted from his new father. When he was 13 he moved back to Virginia with his family, where he fell in love with the mother of a girl in his class. Shortly after he fell in love with her she died of a brain tumor; this started the list of loved ones that were lost. One good thing that came out of her death, though, was it inspired Poe to write poems.…

    Poe uses imagery to create a horrific and dark mood. For example, Poe writes, “ We had passed through walls of piled bones with casks and puncheons intermingling into the inmost recesses of the catacombs”. By using words such as “bones” and “catacombs” Poe incites thoughts of horror and death. These thoughts create a mood of horror for the reader. Poe also uses imagery to create a dark mood. He writes, “I must not only punish, but punish with impunity” . Furthermore, Poe writes, “ THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” . By promising revenge, it shows darkness inside of Montresor.…

    »¿Another wave of sea spray hit his shivering face like bullets pounding into the practise board he used this morning as the boat smashed into a colossal wave. They neared the beach. No longer was it the picturesque setting of crystal waters and soft, light grains of sand that puts smiles on childrenâs faces. Now it was a scene straight out of hell with fire and explosions of destruction, a place where the cries of agonized men would be forever inplanted into the few survivers minds to haunt there darkest nightmares.…

    The poem's setting has several Gothic elements, as the kingdom by the sea is lonely and in an undefined but mysterious location. Poe does not describe the setting with any specificity, and he weaves a hazy, romantic atmosphere around the kingdom until he ends by offering the stark and horrific image of a "sepulchre there by the sea." The location by the sea recalls the city of "The City in the Sea," which is also located by the sea and which is conceptually connected to death and decay. At the same time, the nostalgic tone and…
