Is this the 'muh heritage' thread?
Compare Poe to Cooper, Hawthorne, Melville or Clemons.
While the latter write about distinctly American settings & characters, Poe is always trying to ape the Europeans by referencing obscure greeco-roman mythology to show off his 'aristocratic sophistication'. A good deal of his stories are set in Gothic-style castles or something.
Poe wanted to be an aristrocrat but his adopted dad wouldn't let him lol

I once passed out in a Baltimore gutter. Didn't die physically but after waking up, the love I had for my companions that left me to wallow in water, sick, and all other manner of filth had met the cold fate.
>wants to be european so bad
>english biological mother and scottish foster father
i don't think it's that absurd he emulates and has european influences considering that context.
if you're going to make a thread to shit on poe, at least make it interesting, fampai.

I assume you passed out in the southside. In other places you'd probably would have been looted or killed by a pack of blacks.
