His use of imagery portrays a “kingdom by the sea” where a young girl by the name of Annabel Lee lived. The narrator and Annabel were children but knew they had a love like no other. A love so strong that even the angels envied them. Until a fateful night, when a cold wind blew and chilled Annabel Lee to her demise.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of imagery in "Annabel Lee is the sea and sky (moon and stars) which are easy images for a reader/viewer to conjure up. In Poe's style, beautiful and haunting imagery is given with moonbeams and night tides
