The answer to 2 is onomatopoiea. Now that you have saved some time go to poe own article of the Poetic principle at www.eapoe.org or library for #3. Number one seems a little confusing to me. Pattern? He wanted stories keeping to the unities of time place and event toward a singular emotional effect. He wanted it to be able to be read therefore at one sitting to preserve that effect.
