Addiction  Sometimes strange special effects have been linked to his addiction to opium  Addiction not uncommon in the 1800’s, because of frequent use of laudanum, an opium based medicine, to treat headaches and stomach pains

Allusion  Reference to a famous historical or literary figure or event  Best sources are literature, history, Greek myth, and the Bible  Serves to explain or clarify or enhance whatever subject

Gothic Elements  supernatural horrors and an atmosphere of unknown terror pervades the action  High emotion, sentimentalism, but also pronounced anger, surprise, and especially terror  use of words indicating fear, mystery, etc.: apparition, devil, ghost, haunted, terror, fright, fainting

Gothic Elements n Setting is bleak and remote n The plot involves macabre or violent incidents n Characters are in psychological and / or physical torment. n A supernatural or otherworldly element is often present.

Symbol  Something that is itself and yet also represents something else  Universal symbols embody universally recognizable meanings  Invested symbols are given symbolic meaning by the way an author uses them in a literary work

SINGLE EFFECT n Idea that every character, event, and detail should contribute to a single effect in the reader. For Poe it was often the Gothic effect. But it could be a romantic effect, mysterious effect or sad effect. n Poe “invented” the short story.

You will identify how Poe uses allusion, gothic elements, symbols, and single effect in the story you and your partner chooses to work on from the website.
