My thoughts

Schizophrenic , Demented , and completely normal some say Edgar Allan Poe needed help beyond ways possible . There's nothing I can do to change your opinion on if he is crazy or not but let me ask you this , how and if so why ? No one knows what went through his head but who could have he was scared , twisted , and an unhappy drunk . He obviously had a huge case of post traumatic stress disorder but that is all because his mother adoptive mother and wife died of tuberculosis and that has to cause some thing deep and dark to grow inside of you . In my eyes he was lost and scared to ask for any help he couldn't help but be that way that was him his whole life built around terror and loss and i don't blame him he had no way of knowing better . This is why Edgar Allan Poe is the demented writer we know today .
