Poe's narrator tells us almost nothing of his past; his personal qualities are revealed through his responses to the horrors of imprisonment. What do we

know about him? what aspects of his personality allow him to survive this ordeal?

Based on his writing we know that he was a very profound writer. He lived a very dark and mysterious life. Based on his choice of vocabulary in his poems, we know that his personality allowed his mind to wonder and come up with the most daring and sometimes horrifying stories.
