single word... Unless the image of God be
obliterated from the soul, all men cherish the
love of liberty" (Garnet, Henry). Due to slavery,

Edgar Allan Poe State Of Mind

life of Edgar Allan Poe was as morbid and
melancholy as his works. After the abandonment by
his father and the disturbing death of his mother,
both prominent traveling actors, Edgar was
reluctantly forced into orphanage. He was later
taken into the home of John Allan, a wealthy
tobacco merchant. Their relationship was shaky, at
best, and the contention between the two would

nothing for Poe. Amidst the...

Prince Hamlet that an educated, thoughtful, just
and morally upright person can set things right
only by sacrificing his own life. In order to
