Emotions and events that many people have to deal with in their lives, but he handles them differently in both poems. Poe wrote about hope and death, as it seemed to be the only thing he knew.

The narrator also expresses his loneliness after the whispers "Lenore?" and believes he hears a response, even though no one is there.
