Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe Edgar Allen Poe. The name evokes morbid and quite psychotic imagery just from the mere sight of it. That is, from the few stories I have read in his name. He is a man of great intelligence that cannot be denied and sadly, a man of great madness that can also not be denied. He describes feelings of innate and morbid tendencies within the human psyche, that are completely realistic, yet unfathomable …

…stories I have read: “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The Tell Tale Heart,” and “The Black Cat,” it is completely obvious that Poe is not a man of indifference. All of his stories portray the same morbid and psychotic tendencies within the theme. The madness of his characters is so clear and succinct that it becomes, or seems to be rational. Poe is strikingly morbid, yet intelligently true to the human psyche of rationale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
