Edgar Allen Poe

He barely got by on the stories he wrote and very few were even published. He tried marriage 2 more times, but neither of them worked out.

Poe signed up to attend West Point Military Academy but only lasted one year there. Most likely he died from exposure while wandering the street. of his money away and Allen refused to pay his debt. He kept on writing and publishing for a long time. There's also a theory that he had contracted rabies. After being expelled from West Point he moved in with his aunt and cousin, who lived in Baltimore, and were very poor. The idea that these thoughts came from Poe's own depressing life makes me appreciate who he was and what he wrote. Many people believe that he was suffering from a broken heart. Soon enough, like everyone else in his life, she died also.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote alot of successful short stories and poems that leave the reader disturbed by the sadness of his thoughts. When one of his friends finally found him in a bar in Baltimore, he was seriously ill. He was also struggling to earn enough money to live well, but became an alcoholic. He was then broke and had been disowned by John Allan, who was tired of sending him money.
