When we look deeper into the de la Poer’s character we begin to discover some other weaknesses‚ aside from the desire to consume other human beings. Similar to Edgar Allan Poe‚ Lovecraft had a tendency to write about more than what was on the surface. His focus was more centered on the interior‚ what was on the inside (Oates).
