WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN EDGAR ALLEN POE'S WIFE AND ANNABELLE LEE
-- Anonymous, January 21, 2004
Poe's wife Virginia, died of tuburculosis when she was 24. She and Poe lived in a fairy tale and they often played in the yard and went for walks in their garden. Annabelle Lee lived in a "Kingdom by the sea' or the fairy tale that Poe saw they had in his mind. He saw Virginia as so perfect that the angels came and took her away because they envied their love. I hope he didn't lie by her body in the tomb though.
