Question

How was emmeline different from the poet?

Answer 1

Answer:

With the work of Emmeline Grangerford, Twain satirizes Gothic, Romantic literature. It is fair to say that Emmeline's subject matter suggests an obsession with death and borders on the macabre, not unlike the work of Edgar Allan Poe. The poem "Ode to Stephen Dowling Bots, Dec'd" can be read as a parody of Poe's works "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven." There is dark humor to be found in Emmeline's ode to a boy who died from falling down a well. Her verse is overwrought, and Huck's naivete in describing her talent allows Twain's mockery to emerge.
