        <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[In "Annabel Lee" written by Edgar Allan Poe, the point of view is the first person.
It was many and many a year ago,In a kingdom by the sea,That a maiden there lived whom you may knowBy the name of ANNABEL LEE;And this maiden she lived with no other thoughtThan to love and be loved by me.I was a child and she was a child,In this kingdom by the sea;But we loved with a love that was more than love-I and my Annabel Lee;With a love that the winged...]]></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.

        <description><![CDATA[Poe employs repetition, rhythm, and rhyme to unify the poem and give it a musical euphony. Poe repeats the name "Annabel Lee" in every stanza. By repeating the phrase "kingdom by the sea" he also adds to the choral nature and structure of the poem. The anapestic rhythm adds to the suspense of the poem as it builds to its finale.]]></description>

Which is where your lungs start to fill up with fluids taking the space where there's air in your lungs to breath. So it's a little...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[First, remember that this poem is being narrated by Annabel Lee's husband, so what you are really asking is what does the narrator say Annabel Lee lives for.
Annabel's husband claims that she lives only to love him and to be loved by him.
Poe has created this idyllic 'kingdom by the sea' where the two lovers live in blissful and serene happiness until the death of Annabel Lee. He has painted a picture of two people that are madly and deeply in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.

There you have it. Stanza one. Annabel Lee lived only to "love and be loved by" the poem's speaker.
Not a lot more to say.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "Annabel Lee" much of the phrasing and vocabulary is reminiscent of fairy tales.  For instance, the poem begins as do many tales with the idea of "long ago/once upon a time":

It was many and many a year ago,/In a kingdom by the sea

The repetition of key phrases is also typical of fairy tales for children. In Poe's poem there are several phrases repeated:  "In a kingdom by the sea," "of the beautiful Annabel Lee"; this repetition...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[According to the link listed below, the poem is a "melodious" narrative. A narrative poem tells a story and in the poem, the speaker is mourning the loss of a young wife which occurred many years before. He first explains that he blames the angels for her death because they envied the love between the young couple. He then tells the reader about her funeral and burial. Finally, the speaker reveals that even though she is dead, he cannot bear...]]></description>
