Juxtaposition In Villigan Lee

“Annabelle Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe epitomises the transcendent love that is perpetually unwavering in spite of death. The composer effectively portrays the significant idea of love and death through powerful poetic devices of juxtaposition, personification and irony. The visual illustration represents the inevitable understanding that love and death are innately human nature.

Edgar Allan Poe utilises an array of powerful poetic techniques to carefully delve into the eternal nature of love through his protagonist’s loss of ‘Annabel’. Through crafting a description of the protagonist's love story “but we loved with a love that was more than love”, Poe wields repetition to strongly emphasise love is unmeasurable, which supports the description’s

The "bright eyes" metaphorically represent Annabel’s eyes being compared to stars. This conveys her enduring presence, creating the composer's life like stars in the night.

I successfully balanced the emptiness of death with the deep love through vivid imagery and the contrast of light and dark. My use of visual and sound techniques enhanced the presentation, particularly in scenes where celestial and demonic imagery highlighted the themes of love's transcendence and death's inevitability. However, I need to improve the multimedia aspect of my presentation. Although the visuals and sounds that suit the text, I realise that with more time and skill development, I could make it even more immersive and cinematic. To improve, I should spend more time learning advanced video editing techniques and exploring multimedia
