Poe

Well, since I am unsure about this entry I have decided that it will be about Edgar Allen Poe's style.

Edgar Allen Poe wrote in the time of the romantics, not the lovable romantics, but the Romantic Period in which artists and writers revolted against an era of rational thinking. As one of those writers, Poe has a unique style of this imaginative quality. So far, I've read three of his works and in all three there is set forward a dark and gloomy almost as if the setting foretold or was connected to the main character. In some sense there is this incredibly complicated story being told with such detail and imagination that no one can understand it in just one read. He avoids blatantly stating what the true meaning is, but rather allows the reader's imagination to roam free. There is this constant use of conflicting references that reaches multiple audiences, while still conveying his allusive message. Poe is a true wordsmith for example, The Raven is known for its rhyme, imaginative, and idealistic qualities. His style is pronounced as its own because of the complexity in which his poems communicate messages at multiple level, unable to perceive with only one reading. This is why upon multiple attempts, one can only barely begin to unravel the gorgeous and elaborate style Edgar Allen Poe uses in his works of imagination.
