death throughout “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe. First, the theme of love becomes evident as the narrator describes that the two “loved with a love that was more than love” (Poe 9). Love is existing because the narrator expresses his strong affection for his late wife Annabel Lee from the start of their relationship when they were only innocent children.

The two pieces of literature I will discuss is “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe and “My Lost Youth” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In my opinion Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” is better work because he was one of the first authors to do horror in American literature.

In the poem, every stanza includes the words “ Annabel Lee”, hinting at first that he is in love, but near the end, he was psychotic and obsessive. The author mentions that…
