I need help on a paper about Poe.greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread |
I have to write a paper for my English III class on Edger Allan Poe. The paper is about how in his stories ODSESSION led to MADNESS. Like in "The Tall-Tale Heart". The Obsession fot the eye led him to kill the old man. I need examples from three of Poe's stories or poems. I also need to relate the story to Poe's life. If anyone can give me some help I would really be appreciative.Thank You Ash
