Novamente o final... é de arrepiar. https://www.planocritico.com/category/literatura/ ( ) The madness of grief personified. Passionately in love with Ligeia, his wife, until she dies and he becomes obsessed with every detail of her memory. Later marrying Lady Rowena because he secretly likes that she 'shunned' him at every turn and that she's Ligeia's opposite in every way, but despite this he hates her because she's not the one he loved most. Unfortunately, Rowena succumbs to the same illness as his first wife: consumption (tuberculosis). At her bedside, high on opium he thinks of his love for Liegia and her demise, and on glancing at the body on the bed he believes he witnesses some imaginary sign of life in Rowena's corpse. Frantically, he does everything he can to revive her, until Ligeia's visage transforms Rowena's body. The horror of his misfortune was obviously too much for his tortured psyche to handle. Sadly, this correlates with Poe's real life experience. His mother died when he was a infant, his father abandoned him soon after, his foster mother died, and then his wife died after more than a decade of marriage. That's more than any one soul should have to bear. Condemned to walk alone and probably terrified to love anyone in case his curse catches up with him. Ligeia predates The Raven by about seven years, although it goes without saying that they go hand-in-hand, both detailing the insanity brought on by the grief and loss of a dearly beloved wife. This isn't my first ride on the psychologically intriguing Poe-horror-go-round, and it won't be my last. A love story turned nightmare, Ligeia is the narrator's first wife, & the love of his life, which you can see in the descriptions. The charming tale of boundless love & joy turns to despair at her death, & his relocation to the north of England, to an antique abbey that he remodels the interior of in sumptuous, eclectic fashion, & brings his second wife, apparently a local heiress, to. It is what happens in the hours immediately following HER death that lend to the inherent creepiness of the ending... Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Der Ich-Erzähler hat in einer ,,alten, verfallenen Stadt am Rhein" seine grosse Liebe "Ligeia" kennengelernt und geheiratet. Sie wird beschrieben als eine Frau von ebenso großer Schönheit wie Klugheit und Bildung. Der Ich-Erzähler wird zu ihrem Schüler und überlässt sich ihrer Führung. Besonders fasziniert ist sie von der Idee, dass alles Leben von eignem Willen ist und dass Sterben nur auf einem Mangel an Willenskraft beruht. Dennoch erkrankt sie und siecht dahin. Der verwitwete Ich-Erzähler hält es daraufhin in der alten Stadt am Rhein nicht mehr aus und kauft von dem reichen Erbe, das Lady Ligeia ihm hinterlassen hat, eine alte Abtei in England. Er findet eine neue Partnerin gefunden: Die blonde, blauäugige Lady Rowena Trevanion von Tremaine. Aus Geldgier hat ihre Familie die Heirat eingefädelt - er aber befindet sich weiterhin im Bann Lady Ligeias und erträgt die neue Beziehung nur noch im Opiumrausch...
