Poe


We will talk about Poe’s life and his stories; where and when he was born, his wives, and the main topics of his life. About his stories we will talk about the “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Raven”.
Edgar Alan Poe was born in Boston, January 19,1809. He also lived in Scotland, London, Chelsea, Virginia and many other places. He started to write poetry in April 1827. Some important people in Poe’s life were: Elizabeth his mother, Arnold Poe his father, Virginia (first wife), Sarah Whitman (second wife), Allen John (step father).
He became alcoholic and it was one of the biggest problems he had. One version of his death is that he died in the street drinking.
The “Tell-Tale Heart” is about a man who served an old gentleman in his home, and that old man had a vulture eye. The servant hated his eye, and one day he decided to kill him. In the end the police arrested him, but it was something uncommon. The police didn’t believe the confession, because he said that he could hear the beat of the heart of the dead man from under the floor.
We think that this stories are interesting and of horror. We recommend it if you like this type of stories.
