Answer:
I think that the theme that best represents the given excerpt is suffering as a way of life. The excerpt hints that everyone always seeks to want more, starting from birth until one's death bed. And with their continuous search for their wants, they suffer since they are never satisfied with what they have. Thus, suffering becomes a way of life.
Explanation:
A=Edgar Poe didn't write "just anything" that would sell. If he did that, we probably wouldn't have ever heard of him for several reasons which are ultimately unimporatant to this question.
B=He claimed his first love was poetry, and he considered himself a poet before a regular, ordinary writer, but given the way the choices are worded, I'd say that B is still, with this in consideration, not the answer.
C=Edgar Poe did fabricate his personal life one time, when he created a backstory for his alias Arthur Gordon Pym.
D=True, he did invent it before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ripped off Poe's detective C. Auguste Dupin.
E=Edgar Allan Poe was never insane. He was not that kind of man. He was more philosophical and aristocratic. Although in his youth he had toyed with an alcohol vice, he overcame it in his later years. He is only (and falsely) known for an alcoholic past because after Poe died, Poe's editor, Rufus Griswald slandered Poe and re-wrote Poe's biography, altering history away from the truth. Edgar Poe was never the "madman-alcoholic" that some people wrongfully believe he was.
<span>There are several examples of figurative language used in the excerpt, these are as follows:
rose-red fingers - this means that his fingers are very red
</span><span>well-homed sword - the sword was well-taken care of
</span><span>rawhide sandals
</span><span>handsome as a god - he is very handsome, flawless</span>
