Both of these writers used his poem "The Raven" to share some of their feelings about the author and uncovering hidden meanings from his work such as death or supernatural causes that they felt had an impact on his writing. One part of this analysis I found showed the true art form of Edgar Allan Poe was when they showed how he adds stressed and unstressed syllables to add meaning and also his ability to add pauses for suspense. Most of the analysis for "The Raven" in Napierkowski 's and Ruby 's dissolution can be found in many other writings by Poe. Napierkowski and Ruby seemed to lead into more of his creative genius by analyzing one of his poems and showing what each stanza tells us and also why each phrase or word is unique and benefits the overall work that Poe created.

Napierkowski and Ruby seem to interpret more from their sources citing that Poe failed making his decision naming his executor of his literary estate as Wilmot Griswold. Griswold was partially a reason for Poe 's deep depressing state because of the image he created for Poe as an opium and alcohol addicted writer that suffered from extreme personal agony. Napierkowski and Ruby explained, "Griswold wrote in 1849, almost immediately after Poe’s death, that it is “a reflection and an echo of his own history." This did not look acceptable for Poe without regard to his death and where he left off writing. Napierkowski and Ruby did not seem like they very much agreed with the path that Griswold took because more and more of Poe 's audience started to interpret him as a drunk depressed addict rather than the writer of "The Raven."
This is one flaw I see within Napierkowski 's and Ruby 's work, it seems that most people don 't look at Edgar Allan Poe
