Question

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allab Poe (summary interpretation)

Text and Annotations

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; 5 And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.

Tell me what the symbolism here.
​

Answer 1

HEY THERE!

THE SYMBOLISM (I somehow found it on GoogIe) is "Annabel Lee" because she is a symbol of Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe. The sea wind gives "Annabel" a chill that kills her. SO, you could put "The symbolism is Annabel Lee which represents Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe."

HAVE A TERRIFICLY AMAZING DAY!

Answer 2

I'm not entirely sure- but you could say that the symbolism was saying that she "lived with no other thought then to love and be loved by me". I'm sure they loved each other a lot but she didn't literally have no other thought. I suppose that's more exaggeration but it can work for symbolism too I think?
