The emotions of a husband who had just lost his wife whom he loved passionately reflects in the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edger Allen Poe. The loss he underwent through marks an impertinent place in his life and the poem too. He even blames the angles to conspire against the couple who were so deep in love with each other.

“The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

Went envying her and me—

Yes!—that was the reason”

The poet possesses a totally different view about death altogether. Even after losing her wife he feels that though he has lost her by her body, but their soul will ever be separated from each other. He understands that death is inevitable. It will happen to everyone some or the other day. Though in great pain and distress he still finds himself falling for Annabel. The moon, the stars and the world around him make him feel the presence and the beauty of Annabel.

Poe not just succeeds in making the reader feel his emotions but also creates a world in the minds of his readers that love has that potential which can even beat the harshness of death.

The repetition of the words “sea,” “Lee” and “me” not just sets the mood of the poem by giving a form of musical arena but also focuses on the important aspects too. The poet, his beloved wife Annabel and the sea are the three main subject around whom the whole poem evolves. In his deep grief, the poet lays near the sea remembering his wife and finding her beauty in the nature.
