“P(oe)sychology”: The Psychoanalytic Examination of the Theme of Death in Poe’s Works
Öz
Edgar Allan Poe, one of the most powerful names in American and Anglo-Saxon literature, was a writer, poet, editor and literary critic associated with the American Romantic Movement. He became known for his mysterious and horrible stories. He was one of the first American writers of the short story genre. Poe was also respected in the field of literature for his contributions to the science fiction genre that emerged during the same period. His best-known works were generally Gothic and focused on issues such as separation, death, the resurrection of the dead and mourning. Poe's style is considered one of the cornerstones of the dark-romantic movement. It is generally seen as a desperate and mysterious figure hidden in the shadows of moonlit gravestones or hidden in the ruins of the ruined castles. But of course, this image is a characterized and inadequate description of the existing Poe. Poe was not the first Gothic writer, but he was undeniably one of the strongest. This article focuses on the probable psychological analysis of why Poe's stories work so intensely and "live" in death, gloom, and grief.
