Answer 1

Answer:

Annabel Lee is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1849. The poem describes a tragic love story between the author and Annabel Lee. They fell in love when they were children while enjoying their life in the kingdom by the sea. Eventually, their love was so great that the angels became jealous and decided to took Annabel Lee from the poet. She died and was buried in the sea. The poet is left alone and he continues to grieve for his beloved.

Explanation:

Annabel Lee is a poem written by famous American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). This is the last song Poe wrote before he passed away. The poem was written in 1849, but it was published the same year after Poe's death.

The main motive of this poem is death. Poe describes a tragic love story between a lyric subject and Annabel Lee, which ends with her premature death. The author blames angels for her death, as he considers they were jealous of their love. Her death is mystical and poetic, but no less tragic. In the last stanza, the poet says that the two lovers were not separated after death. Their love is too great for anything to destroy it, as they are forever united, even when they are physically separated.
