Edgar Allan Poe was famously known for his dark and melancholic themes in his writing. He often explored themes of death, loss, and madness, reflecting a sense of despair and longing. Many of his works express a deep sense of isolation and turmoil, drawing from his own personal experiences and struggles.
Probably sorrow , loneliness since his mother died when he was young and his father left him. Then his brother died when he was a man, and his wife( which was also his cousin) died from sickness. I believe his foster father (John Allan) got into fights with him.
You can get books at the library about him, or look him up on the internet. I learned mostly about him on Wikipedia
very morbid
Edgar Allan Poe's love life was marked by deep and often tumultuous relationships. He married his 13-year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, when he was 27, and their marriage was reportedly loving but marred by her ill health. Poe also had romantic entanglements with other women, such as Elmira Royster and Sarah Helen Whitman, but many of his relationships were plagued by tragedy and loss.

Rhyme
Upon its head...sat the hideous beast...I had walled the monster up within the tomb!
In "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe, different feelings are expressed as the poem progresses. The sound of the bells at first evokes happiness and joy in the first stanza, then transitions to a sense of foreboding and unease in the second stanza, followed by a feeling of despair and mourning in the third stanza, and lastly, a sense of terror and alarm in the final stanza. The poem's shifting emotions mirror the changing sounds and tones of the bells themselves.
