Poe isn't considered a 'crazy freak' or anything of that matter. It wasn't all that uncommon to marry one's own cousin, and still isn't today. Plus, it wasn't considered bizarre to marry someone who is 13 years of age at that time. What IS considered crazy (and irresponsible) is the number of teenagers (younger than 18) who become pregant each year in the United States.
