Poe believed that all literary works should be short. "There is", he writes, "a distinct limit... to all works of literary art - the limit of a single sitting." He especially emphasized this "rule" with regards to poetry<span>, but also noted that the </span>short story<span> is superior to the novel for this reason.

In this case, Poe logically decides on "the death... of a beautiful woman" as it "is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world</span>
