Poem Basics: Alone by Edgar Alan Poe

Poem here

1. The significance of the title alone is that it is the basis of the poem, all the poem talks about is his feeling of  loneliness.
2. The tone of the poem is depressing, Poe explains how he feel isolated from society and how his whole life is dark just like this and many of his work.
3. The mood that is presented from the poem is a since of empathy because it is so dark that all I can feel is bad for the author for how he felt so alone and like there was no one there for him.
4. I don’t really see a shift in the poem; it stays with the same tone and theme from start to finish.
5. The theme of the poem is that many people are emotionally and mentally disconnected from society and in this state all they feel and see is a dark and horrible sense of loneliness that consumes them.
