Edgar Allan Poe was born in 1809 on January 19. He wrote dark and scary stories, most think because of his wifes sickness and early death. As a young adult in college, he owed many gambleing debts and was not given any money from his father. He was forced to withdraw from college. He started writing in a difficult time for writers, and it was right after his brother died. His life is very eventful and I will cover more of it in my final paper.
There is much to address here about the women in his life. When you check into it, you find that almost every woman he ever cared about died. The gambling debts problem was real, but it was his step father who refused to cover them.
