Based on my understanding, I think that Edgar Allan Poe was a very weird man, and something that I learned about him is how he lost his mother, his sister, and his wife because of tuberculosis. He might had been inspired by that and based on the life he lived, he wrote many creepy stories and 3 of them that we read in class are called: The Mask of The Red Death, Tell-Tale Heart, and The Raven.
He is a very interesting man and the good things about his writings is that they capture our attention and we have english literature that is interesting and very creative.Edgar Poe was born in virginia I think, he suffered a lot because most of his family died from desease and he had been alone most of his life time.
