Analysis of Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan,

Men have the idea that love can blossom anywhere and anytime. Devotion and sacrifice also determine the success of the relationship. It is a strong feeling that can overcome all obstacles. In the poem, Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan describes as a beautiful and divine thing but cut short by death. Edgar, though sad does not agree to get over this situation.

Edgar narrates the poem on a setting of the kingdom by the sea. It is a lonely, unidentified, and mysterious place. There is no specificity in the area. It weaves a romantic atmosphere around the kingdom. Shmoop explains that she describes as the maiden who lived with no other thought than to love and loved by Edgar. ("Shmoop Annabel Lee analysis") However, there is also a horrifying representation of the kingdom of the sea. The "sepulcher there by the sea, in her tomb by the sounding sea" shows the tragedy that was around this area. From the third line of the first stanza, Edgar calls Annabel a "maiden" to demonstrate that she was probably a beautiful young woman.

Edgar says, "But we loved with a love that was more than (Edgar 2) loves I and my Annabel Lee; with a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. He tells us that they loved each other with a great love even though they were young. It was because of the coveted love and jealousy that the Angels decided to take her away. ("Shmoop Annabel Lee analysis") describes it from stanza two where Edgar does not describe the reason for death but just the chilling wind took her away. ("Shmoop Annabel Lee analysis") it shows that the kinsman took her away from him describes more than just a family member but a noble person. It also shows some family dispute existed. Edgar does not accept the loss and to him, it was as if they snatched Annabel from him. (Stanza 5) Shmoop explains that Edgar says that, neither the angels in heaven nor the demons that live in the water can stop their love. Nothing in heaven or hell can "dissever” his soul and Annabel's soul. He does not accept the fact that death can separate him from Annabel ("Shmoop Annabel Lee analysis")

Edgar shows that their love was young and pure, wiser and greater than that of the adults. Shmoop explains that "But our love it was stronger by far than the love, of those who were older than we. (Stanza 5). Of much far wiser than we-And neither the angels in heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever, which means to separate my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee"(Edgar stanza 5) he also shows that everyone was envious of their love including the angels and the demons. According to, that why her relatives sent the wind to take her away from him (stanza 5)

The Edgar uses personification where the narrator personifies the wind. He describes that the wind killed his lover making us get a picture of how the wind took away his love. Shmoop quotes Edgar's work, on how the wind blew out of a cloud, chilling his beautiful Annabel Lee, So that her highborn kinsman later came and bore her away from me, to shut her up (Shmoop 2) sepulcher in this kingdom by the sea."It gives the wind a high power to kill somebody and to give the wind human qualities more than the natural forces. It gives the reader a connection to the poem and creates a heartbreaking emotional attachment with the poem.

He also compares the happiness they feel for each other to that of the angels in heaven. He portrays their happiness as a unique feeling that is greater than that felt in the skies. Shmoop describes "The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me" (4). Their love is not only greater that that felt between the humans but also superior to that of the holy beings.

Edgar also the emphasis on words like, "My Beautiful Annabel Lee". It demonstrates to the reader what Annabel meant in his life. We see her as an attractive woman with a divine beauty who is very close to the narrator. We also understand the emotional connection between the two lovebirds and we can foresee the tragedy that is about to happen.

He also uses affectionate words to describe Annabel such as ‘darling', ‘; beautiful'. It shows the strong, loving and affectionate feelings and emotions between them. It represents the narrator as a selfish person by using the word ‘my' frequently. Despite the death of Annabel, the narrator continues to use the same words.

In conclusion, Edgar reminisces about Annabel all the time. Several things remind him of her including the stars, the moon, and the night as he lies beside her tomb. It shows the difficulty to let love go he was not ready to lose. It proves that no matter how much love there is between two loved ones, it has no control over death. However, Edgar's love story does not end with her death, but he stays in denial believing they are still together. It makes him look like a creep.
