Annabel Lee By Edgar Allan Poe

356 Words2 Pages

“Annabel Lee”, written by the one and only, Edgar Allan Poe. Published in the year of 1849, “Annabel Lee” is known as Poe’s last completed poem. The poem takes you through a riveting love story between the narrator and his lover, Annabel Lee. But this alluring love story comes to an abrupt stop when Annabel Lee dies unexpectedly. This poem gives off many themes, but I think the most noticed theme in this poem is that love is eternal. I chose this poem because when I was in seventh grade we started learning how to annotate properly. Our first poem we had to annotate was “Annabel Lee”. As I was reading the poem I instantly fell in love with the poem because it really made me feel like I was right in that kingdom by the sea with Annabel Lee.

    “Goaded by the interference into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the ax in her brain.” (Black cat 24) Madness is one of three main stylistic devices that analyze the writing style of Poe. The other two are point of view and dramatic irony. Poe always has this essence of madness in his writings.

    From not even knowing who he was to being introduced and engrossed in a whole new world which was only known to him and his love, which he now shared with all his readers. The ending of this poem- from my point of view- was tragic yet strangely engaging for the audience. I can only simply accept that their love was not one to be long-lived , as it was forbidden. Although Annabel died in the end I cannot fault the poet, because even though she didn’t live a long life in which I pictured her growing old with Poe, I came to realise it didn’t matter. Poe would still continue to love her as he did before and to me, that was the beauty of it all, that he was able to love her regardless of her death.
