In s poem ,
there is only one thing the narrator finds worth living for €“ his Annabel Lee. Annabel herself
was a maiden who lived only to love and be loved by the narrator, and his besotted language
would suggest that his approach to life was the same €“ he refers to their love as one to stir
even the angels to jealousy.
The setting of the poem
also shows that Annabel Lee is the narrators main focus in life; whether she is alive or dead,
he remains with her on the sea. Regardless of any kind of hope or hopelessness, it is just he
and his Annabel Lee, as if there are no other people on the earth. His very soul is part of hers
€“ nothing can ever dissever his soul from Annabel Lees (stanza 5).
Finally, the narrator calls his long lost maiden his life in the final stanza. What
the narrator finds worth living for is his very life €“ his darling Annabel
Lee.
