The Bells, poem by Edgar Allan Poe, published posthumously in the magazine Sartain's Union (November 1849). Written at the end of Poe's life, this incantatory poem examines bell sounds as symbols of four milestones of human experience—childhood, youth, maturity, and death.
In the first stanza he talks about sleigh bells and Christmas bells. In this poem he uses the words tinkling and jingling to represent the bells. When he uses these words, it sets a happy and jolly type of mood for the reader. It starts the poem out in a warm and happy manner.
In stanza three there are sounds and descriptions of alarm bells. He uses the words clanging, clashing, and roaring to give a sense of alarm. He describes how the bells clamor and clangor out of tune in order to send the message of alarm to those around it. In the forth stanza there are bells that are rung for the diseased. He says that the noises they make are mainly moans, and groans, from their rusty iron throats. This gives the feeling of sadness and sorrow. He also makes it seem like the bells are alive, and they want to be rung making more people dead. Which means that they are glad when death comes around. I think that Poe repeated everything so that people get a sense of what really is happening. But I think, when he says things over, and over like the word Bells, it starts to get boring and annoying to me.
THE THEME : -
The poem deals with themes like fear of death, and the inevitable progression of the life cycle from youth to death.
