        <description><![CDATA[The subject of the poem "Annabel Lee," by Edgar Allan Poe is the death of the narrator's love, Annabel Lee.  The narrator tells us about how the two of them were childhood sweethearts who loved each other and (presumably) got married.  He then tells how she died and how devastated he continues to be by her loss.
I would say that the tone and mood of the poem are somber.  His attitude toward Annabel Lee and her death is clearly a sad one. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    Edgar Allan Poe's famed poem, "Annabel Lee," is filled with various themes and literary devices. It is a story of love and death, mystery and reminiscence, romance and lost love. It has a musical lyricism that few poems can match. The tone combines both sadness and hope. This is the case with the line that forms the simile in the poem.

But we loved with a love that was more than love—       I and my Annabel Lee—

The simile...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On a broader scope, the poem also deals with social injustice and the denial of basic rights to certain underprivileged people. The abolition of slavery in the South was still a few years away, so some critics consider this a statement against racism as well as a personal statement of loss. Check out the following references, which give more information concerning this aspect.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Many scholars and readers have speculated that Edgar Allan Poe wrote Annabel Lee about his wife Virginia. She had passed on two years before the poem was written in 1849. This may explain why Poe gave copies to various people and a magazine at the time, almost as a way to make sure that the poem would be published. Then again, Poe may have just written Annabel Lee as a continuation of his commonly used theme of death to a beautiful woman. Some...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although Edgar Allan Poe's memorable poem "Annabel Lee" does not immediately come to mind in a gothic sense, it does contain virtually all of the elements expected of that style. In literature, the term "gothic" usually includes some specific ingredients: a mansion or castle, a women in need, a man with a love interest, a shroud of gloom or mystery, and a barbarous or terrible act. It is often related to something very old (since...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are some Gothic elements that Poe incorporates into his poem.  One such element is the notion which is brought out in line 2, and then repeated in the poem.  The idea of the love described as being linked to "a kingdom by the sea" can be seen as representative of the Gothic genre, which based much of its setting in old castles that possess some level of mystery.  The presence of extreme emotion is something that pervades both the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When taken out of a natural context, I have a tendency to believe that most love poems "sound" a bit on the obsessive side.  Due to this, it is a difficult to read if this is the exact intent of the poem.  Perhaps, love, itself, is a topic which lends itself to obsessive tendencies.  Having said all of this, I think there are some lines in "Annabel Lee" that can reflect some aspects of an extremely consuming and all encompassing love.  The...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Poor Poe!
He was surrounded by death from childhood; these deaths, I'm sure, all had a cumulative effect, and all, in their own way, led to his poor lifestyle choices. He suffered from depression (allegedly at least, but how can one think differently after reading his works!) and also was an alleged alcoholic and drug abuser. Poe was found "unresponsive" in a gutter in a city that he really was not expected to be in. His death is believed to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Annabel Lee" is written in the first person. Poe refers to himself, and to himself as part of the couple. "We loved with a love..." etc. When the author refers to himself or herself in writing as "me", "I", "we" etc., the work is in first person. If he had talked about Annabel Lee and her lover as "they", that would be third person--the author would have removed himself from participation in the poem.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Berdina,
A few inconsistencies arise from Poe's "Annabel Lee" because of various illegible copies from different manuscripts of the poem.  If you consult the Edgar Allen Poe Society of Baltimore web site, their organization is considered one of the leading scholarly societies concerning his works. They have identified close to a dozen different versions of the poem and on their website, you will see several versions.
