答案

Annabel Lee,like many other poems of Edgar Allan Poe,describes the theme of the death of a beautiful woman which is called “the most poetical topic in the world” by the poet himself.In the poem,the narrator and Annabel Lee had an extremely strong love for each other since they were children.Unfortunately,their love is so strong that even angels envy them and Annabel Lee was killed by them.However,the narrator retains the deep love for her after her death.Just as the last stanza shows us,the narrator dreams about Annabel everyday and lies by the side of her tomb at night.It seems that their love is beyond grave and death.There are many speculation of who is the inspiration of Annabel Lee.I would like to believe that Annabel Lee is referring to Poe’s wife Virginia who died at the age of 26.She was loved as a child by Edgar Allen Poe because she was only 13 when she married the 27-year-old Poe.And she was the only bride of him.
Poe set the scene in a kingdom by the sea and uses some images like sepulcher and tomb,which add some Gothic touch to the poem.With the repetition of some words and phrases,the poem has a nostalgic tone and gives us a mournful feeling.The mysterious tone of the poem makes us feel that only in mysterious and ancient time does such kind of love exist.
Besides the content,the poetic structure of this poem is also what I appreciate.It is composed of six stanzas with lines at different length,which gives me a feeling of the waves of the ocean.When I read it,the rhyme and the different length makes it has a musical effect and it is like telling a story to someone.
