Another poem that I really enjoyed by Poe was "Annabel Lee," which was presented by Linwood Watkins. The story starts out talking about how happy Annabel Lee and the narrator are together; they are said to live in a "kingdom by the sea," which I think is a metaphor for living happily together. Later in the poem, the narrator goes on to say that, the angels became jealous of Annabel because she was so beautiful, so they killed her. Obviously, the narrator becomes very sad and longs for Annabel to come back. "Annabel Lee" is a good example of Edgar Allen Poe's contempt for death. ...
