“Ligeia” a Book by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe’s “Ligeia” is a masterpiece that has created a significant amount of speculation. Many authors and thinkers have offered their interpretation of the short story, and each one could be taken as a unique understanding of the story. Of course, it could also be true that the different perspectives all closely relate to the story and where the original idea behind Allan Poe’s writing. The human mind is such a complex entity that it would be impossible to quantify what the author meant. Another assumption might lead to believe that Poe did not have a specific plan or organization of the story but it came together in the process. Usually, great things of art cannot be planned but come alive during the work and search for the most specific representation of the mind’s imagination.
