2. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to William Flint Thrall and Addison Hibbard that had been revised and
enlarged by C. Hugh Holman in A Handbook To Literature (1960: 364), “Poetry: A term
applied to the many forms in which man has given a rhytmic exppression to his most
imaginative and intense preseptions of his world, himself, and the interrelationship of
the two.”
According to Edwin Arlington Robinson in A Handbook To Literature (1960: 366),
“Poetry is language that tells us through a more or less emotional reaction, something that
cannot be said. All poetry, great or small, does this.”
According to Laurence Perrine in Sound And Sense: An Introduction to Poetry Third
Edition (1969:03), “...poetry might be defined as a kind of language that says more and says
it more intensely than does ordinary language.”

6. Annabel Lee
By: Edgar Allan Poe

7. It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
Stanza 1

8. I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love–
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
Stanza 2

9. And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
Stanza 3

10. The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me–
Yes!–that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
Stanza 4

11. But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we–
Of many far wiser than we–
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
Stanza 5

12. 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;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling–my darling–my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Stanza 6

In this poem can be seen in the love between the narrator and
Annabel Lee that grows since they were children. This puppy love has not known
any different, for example in social status, yet.
 Stanza 1 Lines 5-6
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
 Stanza 2 Line 1
I was a child and she was a child,
However as time goes on, their loves change from puppy love to erotic love.

21. EROTIC LOVE ANALYSES
 Stanza 2 Lines 3-6
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
The love between the narrator and Annabel Lee is so intense,
mutual and craving for each other makes many sides including Seraphs,
symbol of an angelic being associated by light, ardor and purity, feel
jealous.

22. TRAGIC LOVE 1
 Stanza 3 Lines 3-4
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
Since human’s power can’t shake their intense love, nature takes actions
to separate them physically by taking the live of Annabel Lee. After the death of
Annabel Lee, now it is the turn of the Kinsman to take an action to separate them
further by burying her in a cold massive locked building called sepulcher where
the narrator can’t get close to her.

23. TRAGIC LOVE 2
 Stanza 3 Lines 5-8
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
Since the inseparable love between the narrator and Annabel Lee, the action
of the wind and the Kinsman can’t deter the narrator to be closed to the love of his
life. The narrator chooses to sleep near the sepulcher.

24. TRAGIC LOVE 3
 Stanza 6 Lines 5-8
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
When physically separated by the wind and the Kinsman, the narrator chooses to keep
his deep love to Annabel Lee by re-chanting her name and their love. The narrator’s choice can’t
be blocked by the wind and the Kinsman because it happens in his mind, heart and soul. Does,
even though their love ends tragically, but it does not die. It grows forever because the narrator
keeps it growing. Their love wins.

25. TRAGIC LOVE 4
 Stanza 6 Lines 1-6
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;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
Love can’t be separated by physical or distance, but physical power and distance can’t kill love
if the lover insists to keep their love even though it is just in mind. True love never ends. The tragic love
between the narrator and Annabel Lee in Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe is another reflection of tragic
love between Romeo and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

26. CONCLUSION
This poem, written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1849, is a famous poem. The intrinsic
analysis is done not only using the Figurative Language focuses on Symbol and Allegory, but also
Imagery focusing on Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Imageries. The analysis on symbol shows
big power which is potential to separate the love. Meanwhile, the analysis on Imagery shows that
Visual imagery describes the beauty of their love, Auditory imagery describes the threat,
and.Kinesthetic imagery decribes forms of separating actions.
The extrinsic analysis using the concept of love indicates that the love between the
narrator and Annabel Lee in the poem entitled Annabel Lee can be categorized as Tragic Erotic
Love because the puppy love that grows stronger is separated by the greater power surrounding
it such as the wind, the Kinsman and the Sepulchre. However, the true love will not die because
the narrator refuses to yield their love.
