I love your analysis, this is my first time hearing this poem. Instant sub 👍
This poem always reminds me of a line from Tombstone, where Doc Holiday tells Wyatt Earp of his first love, his cousin, they were both 15. She joined a convent over the affair. "She was all I ever wanted"
My Father’s favorite poem.
Thanks Gents.
It’s a little creepy for a love poem, but it’s Poe. The death of a wife/Love figures in a few of Poe’s works before and after Virginia Clem Poe’s death (The Raven for example).
Can’t have Poe without feeling some unease
I love this poem. It's not a masterpiece or high literature or anything, but it's a great poem nonetheless. One of my favorite poems to teach back when I taught freshman English. I wish I could find a way to fit it in to either my junior or senior classes.
I never got to this one in high school. Maybe for the better as I appreciate it now for sure
Absolutely brilliant lads.
Edgar Allan Poe's, "Annabell Lee" fits the typical 19th century Romanticism literary movement at the time. The unknown character Annbell Lee could possibly be Poe's wife, but literary scholars are still having discussions about the main character.
We don't know to much about Edgar Allan Poe, so reading a published biography won't help that much when reading his poetry. Thanks 👍
Fair. I’d still love reading it out of general interest!
@@TheCodeXCantina that's cool 👍
Yes! This is one of my favorite poems of his, top three. And it is purely for that "fairytale" mood you mention. Because of this, I never really tried to analyze it, or heard one (though, did know this history) so this was especially great! Thank you! (though I did know what a sepulcher was, I had never heard it pronounced before. But, I can say posthumous, so there is that). 😅
Oh, and yes!! His short little novella is fantastic, and has a really haunting coincidence attached to it, if you look it up!
You never know how many tries it took with the magic of video editing how many tries it may have taken to pronounce something 😂
When the angels covet I feel so si lonely and vulnerable. The love was pure but the angels we're evil. There is nothing left for me after I lost my loved one because I now feel abandoned by the ones who were supposed to protect me😢
While Poe professed that his works were ars gratia artis, I'm team autobiographical with this one. Through that lens, Annabel Lee is one of the most horrifying works by Poe, bar none. We were both like children? She was 13 and in the throes of puppy love and innocent crushes. He was 27. People older and wiser than us don't understand oUr LoVe? Yeah, Edgar, it's gross. Not sorry. The thing with the kinsmen taking her away likely refers to a mutual cousin of theirs. Edgar hated the guts of Neilson Poe for the rest of his life, because Neilson extended an offer to send Virginia to boarding school. She should've been in roughly seventh grade. Edgar got so freaked that Neilson was trying to take her away from him (to go to SCHOOL) that within weeks of Neilson's offer, Poe married Virginia. Can't take her away now, kinsmen. Ugh. Positively chilling.
Go through history
Every marriage that happened prior to the last hundred years women were extremely young
13 was a common age to be married. Nothing creepy about that. It's a state of mind this is how are people around the world conducted their lives and surviving.
And certainly people did not live as old as they are today.
Moose families was extremely happy for their daughters to marry an older partner. Husband.
This ensure that their daughter would be taken care of for the rest of their life this was a tradition the properties would pass from the husband's family to the wife's family's.
This was part of treaty
Between Nations.
And it was common.
And for any woman that was not married by the time she was at least 20 was considered an Old maid.
Something was wrong with them they were undesirable
They were not able to marry pig has perhaps they did not understand music Reading writing perhaps they came from bad blood perhaps they were promiscuous and they had no virginity
I really do not understand what is the thing with this poem. It is like it talks from My heart every since My parents and two of my brothers died
For many years girls as young as thirteen were married it was only recent history less than 100 years that women have not married so young not even so can I say in my
Family my mother was 13 her mother was 14 her mother was 14 her mother was 13
Myself I was 15 1985
This was something that was also because women did not live as long as men than most would die in their 30s
I always thought this was in reference to
Atlantis the kingdom by the sea
Echoes of Helen of Troy
Gawd, you two are chicks
Neither "Annabel Lee" nor "The Raven" were written by Edgar Allan Poe. Both poems were actually written from real life by Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe only modified the last four lines of "Annabel Lee" so as to make it macbre instead of being a statement of faith. He never published it during his lifetime, despite the fact that he would have had Whittier's copy since 1842. He falsely claimed "The Raven" in a sort of 19th-century identity theft. See my paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," or a more condensed version intended for scholarly journals, entitled "Edgar Allan Poe’s Plagiarism of Mathew Franklin Whittier’s Poem, “The Raven," each of which can be downloaded from the following links. They can also be found by searching for each paper's' title on Academia.edu.

Annabel Lee
and the Raven
Two favorites.
This is quite interesting to me thank you so very much for sharing this it makes much more sense.
I've always felt a different personality with these two writings.
