| + | As Poe's life progresses, his writings become more centered around love. At the beginning of his life, it's fair to say that Poe lacked meaningful relationships with his family. His writings always contained themes of death, but they did not always contain themes of love. It wasn't until Poe was 27 did he marry his cousin. After the marriage, Poe wrote stories like Ligeia and Annabel Lee. He seemed to really love his wife and was devastated when she died. This was when love didn't become just a theme but a major theme in his writings. Love and loss of love majorly effected the plots of these stories. As he grew older, Poe came to appreciate and desire love in his life and this was reflected in his writings. | ||
