Edgar Allan Poe never has ceased to amaze people with his elaborate way of telling a story in a poem form, and in such a bleak tone. Poe has always been an author that has seemed so strange to me, not only because of WHAT he writes about but the tone he sets nearly every single one of his writings in.

The poem Alone, isn't very hard to suggest why he chose to title it in the way that he did, is an detailing the way in which a person who has been alone may think but the detail is in such a way that adds such depth and heartbreak, which in turn brings the reader in. There were several lines that depicted the "angst" in which the title suggests he is in such as,"My sorrow- I could not awaken", the loneliness that he is feeling cannot be dismissed nor hidden. He compares that of many things in nature, including; the storm, lightning, and mountain, which could suggest that he feels as if his life is one that he is unable to control much like the roaring of the storm or cliffs of a mountain we cannot fathom to posses.

The ending of the poem is usually always the most important and that remains true with this poem. "And the cloud that took form ( When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view."
This analytically suggests that near the end of this life reflection- he cannot find a way out of his sadness and feels as if the only view he can see is the demon. A demon is are those beings cast out of Hell sent to earth to dwell and grow stronger from those mistakes done by humankind, demons are believed to be strong beings that rely on the doubting emotions to make them stronger because all negative attitudes done by humans are done by Satan and only seek the bad. With the background knowledge of demons made known by my church I can further understand the depth of the mans loneliness, and sorrow. By using the ending of the poem relating to the evil beings suggests his sorrow.... will never leave him.
