from everything i've read on Poe , I feel that in someway the events in his life, such as losing his parents at such a young age, probably not having a role model(so to speak),and losing his true love(wife), coupled with other problems,he; to me, seemed like a very unhappy person through most of his life. I think somehow he wants to blame God for his misfortunes,and at the same time make peace with him. I sense these feelings all through Poe's life, and writings!

Ok so some people obviously need some help upstairs. Now for the question Poe's life had a huge impact on his writing. From the beginning of his life he experienced loss. That is why his writings or not to put it simply happy. Listen if you are not happy obviously you’re not going to Wright about happy things. Poe wrote as other writers do how he felt.
