No, seriously. I'm not a big Poe fan. I respect his talent, appreciate his ability to tell a really freaky story and scare the bejeebus out of someone, but seriously, asking me to write 3 paragraphs on Poe's ability to "create an intensely vivid situation," "management of dialogue," and "symbolism" is just about torture.
Hey students... if you ever wondered why we don't study Edgar Allan Poe its because he's a freaking wackjob nuto who took too much opium & married his cousin. Yeah. I said it.
Pretty sure I can't say *that* in my paper though. *Sigh.*
I always liked Poe. He really had a sad life though.
