爱伦坡
annabel lee
的解析


Setting
: The narrator (persona) writes about
a fictional kingdom along the ocean
shore. It is an idyllic, beautiful, land of enchantment
–
a paradise on earth
–
where
he and Annabel Lee fell in love as adolescents.
One can imagine that they strolled
the beaches, hand in hand, in gentle breezes while the sun went down and the tide
rushed in. This kingdom, where love ruled their hearts, remains dear to the memory of
the poet after Annabel Lee dies, for his soul remains united with hers.

Characters:

Narrator
(persona):
A
man
of
deep
sensibility
who
extolls
a
young
maiden with whom he fell deeply in love. Annabel Lee: Beautiful young maiden loved
by the poet. She was of noble birth, as Line 17 of Stanza 1 suggests when it says she
had “highborn”
relatives. Annabel Lee probably represents Poe's wife, who died at a
young
age.
Seraphs:
Members
of
the
highest
order
of
angels around
the
throne
of
God.
According
to
the
Bible,
they
each
had
three
pairs
of
wings.
In
the
poem,
the
seraphs are so envious of the love between the narrator and Annabel Lee that they
cause
Annabel’s
death.
Relative
of
Annabel
Lee:
A
“highborn
kinsman”
(Line
17,
Stanza 1) who carries away and entombs her body.

Date of Publication
:
New
York Daily Tribune
.

Theme:

Eternal
love. The
love
between
the
narrator
and
Annabel
Lee
is
so
strong
and beautiful and pure that even the seraphs, the highest order of angels in heaven,
envy it. They attempt to kill this love by sending a chilling wind that kills Annabel Lee.
However,
the love remains alive
–
eternal
–
because the souls of the lovers remain
united.

The death of a beautiful woman is a common theme in Poe’s writing.

Romeo
and
Juliet
Motif
:
Like
Shakespeare’s
Romeo
and
Juliet,
the
narrator
and
Annabel
Lee
are
both
very
young
when
they
fall
deeply
in
love.
In
addition,
like
Shakespeare’s “s
tar-
crossed” lovers, Poe’s lovers become victims of forces beyond
their
control.
Finally,
t
he
narrator
and
Annabel
Lee
–
like
Romeo
and
Juliet
–
experience a love beyond the understanding of older persons.
(See the
opening lines of the second stanza.)

The Real Annabel Lee
: The model for Annabel Lee was probably Poe’s wife, Virginia
Clemm, whom he married when she was only 13. Their marriage was a very happy
one. Unfortunately, she died of tuberculosis in January 1847 when she was still in her
twenties.
Poedied
two
years
and
nine
months
later
–on
October
7,
1849.
“Annabel
Lee” was his last poem.

Rhyme, Rhythm, Repetition
: Poe uses three R’s–
rhyme, rhythm, and repetition
–
in
“Annabel Lee” to create a harmony of sounds that underscore the exquisite harmony
of the n
arrator’s relationship with his beloved.


Rhyme and Repetition

Throughout the poem, Poe repeats the soud of long
first stanza, Line 2 ends with
sea
, Line 4 with
Lee
, and Line 6 with
me
. Stanzas
2 and 3 repeat the
sea
,
Lee
,
me
pattern, although Stanza 3 adds a second
.

Word Choice
: Poe carefully chose the words of the poem to evoke a dreamland or
fairytale
atmosphere.
It
was
many
and
many
a
year
ago
,
for
example,
echoes
the
traditional
fairytale
opening
of
once
upon
a
time
.
The
words
kingdom,
maiden
,
and
child

then
lead
the
reader
into
the
never-never
land,
with
kingdom

suggesting
chivalry
and
romance,
maiden

suggesting
innocence,
and
child

suggesting
the
wonderment of youth. Although he first uses
sepulchre
(Stanza 3) to refer to Annabel
Lee's burial chamber
–
then repeats it in the seventh line of Stanza 6
–
he uses
tomb
in
the
last
line
of
the
poem
to
refer
to
her
resting
place.
Tomb

has
a
more
ominous
connotation, suggesting finality. It also has a more deathly ring, like the cavernous toll
of a funeral bell.

Use
of
Alliteration
:

Poe
relies
heavily
on
alliteration

in

Lee
to
create
pleasing sound patterns. Following are examples of alliteration in the poem:

That the wind
c
ame out of the
c
loud by night,

Chilling
and
k
illing
my
Annabel
Lee.
.....................
(Alliterating
words:
came,
cloud, killing
)

end-rhyming
sea
. Stanza 4 alters the pattern to
me, sea
, and
Lee
. Stanza 5
uses
we, we, sea,
and
Lee
; the last stanza uses
Lee, Lee, sea
, and
sea
. A
notable example of internal rhyme occurs in the last line of Stanza 4
: “Chilling
and killing my Annabel Lee.”

Rhythm and Repetition

The lines of the poem alternate in length between a long line (usually with 9 to
11
syllables)
and
a
short
line
(usually
with
6
to
8
syllables),
as
in
the
first
stanza:

.......
It was many and many a year ago, (11 syllables)

.......
In a kingdom by the sea, (7 syllables)

.......
That a maiden there lived whom you may know (10 syllables)

.......
By the name of Annabel Lee (8 syllables)

.......
And this maiden she lived with no other thought (11 syllables)

.......
Than to love and be loved by me. (8 syllables)

Poe
repeats this
rhythmic
pattern throughout
the
poem,
perhaps to
suggest
the
rise
and
fall
of
the
tides.
He
also
repeats
key
phrases
–
such
as
in
this
kingdom
by
the
sea

and
my
Annabel
Lee

(or
my
beautiful
Annabel
Lee
)
–
to
create
haunting
refrains.
In
addition,
Poe sometimes repeats
words
or
word
patterns within a single line, as in (1)
many and many a year ago
, (2)
we loved
with
a
love
that
was
more
than
love
,
and
(3)
my
darling
–
my
darling
.
Poe
further
enhances
the
rhythm
of
the
poem
with
the
repetition
of
consonant
sounds
(alliteration).
Notice,
for
example,
the
repetition
of
the
“w”
and
“l”
sounds in this line in Stanza 2:
But
w
e
l
oved
w
ith a
l
ove that
w
as more than
l
ove
.
of
vowel
sounds,
as
in
m
a
ny
and
m
a
ny
,
l
o
ve
and
be
l
o
ved
,
and
th
o
se who
were
o
lder than we
.

But our love it
w
as stronger by far than the love

Of those
w
ho
w
ere older than
w
e
–

Of many far
w
iser than
w
e
–
.......................... ......
(Alliterating words:
was, who,
were, we, wiser, we
)

Imagery
–
Darkness
and
Light
:

Implied
and
explicit
images
of
darkness
and
light
occur
throughout
the
poem.
Poe
implies
that
the
kingdom
by
the
sea
is
a
bright,
cheerful place where the sun shines on two young lovers, the narrator and Annabel
Lee. Ironically, in another realm of dazzling light
–
heaven
–
the highest order of angels,
the Seraphim, grow dark with envy of the young couple. Under cover of night, they
send a cold wind that kills Annabel Lee:
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
light,
for
his
soul
and
the
soul
of
Annabel
Lee
are
one.
In
the
last
stanza,
Poe
emphasizes this point with light imagery:

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

Thus,
his
beloved
becomes the
moon
and
the stars
shining
down
on
him from the
sepulchral night sky.
