Abstract

Edgar Allen Poe is a famous American author of the 19th century. From his first short story Metzengerstein in 1832 to his death in 1849, he had written over 60 short stories, of which death is his constant focus. This paper, by studying his short stories comprehensively, explores the expression and reasons of death in his works. Death theme in the stories is the object of study, so this paper will study his short stories as a whole.
