Of course you all know that we have read so many stories written by the greatest Gothic writer of all time Mr. Edgar Allan Poe. I have to mention one of my other favorites written by him. The Raven. As you know (and I will try to be accurate with the story) it is about a man who is being haunted by something of a form of a raven who keeps coming and repeating phrases ending with "never more". As the raven kept coming the man kept demamding the raven to tell what its purpose was for being there. In the beginning of the poem he was dealing with depression and heartache from losing someone he had loved a long time ago and I think the raven driving him to the brink and eventually into insanity did not help his situation that much. Like I have mentioned before and what I will mention over and over again I truly admire Poe and his writing. He is the type of author that I could read over and over again.
I loved the Raven, even though it was a little menacing, and I just wanted the bird to go away. I think that Poe is a great writer because he can make you feel what his characters are feeling, I felt uneasy while reading the Raven, and with Annabel Lee I felt the sadness the character was feeling. It makes me wonder what went on in Poe's mind that he was able to draw from to create these stories, and if he didn't suffer from madness. His stories are brilliant and I have especially enjoyed his poems and stories the most.
