"Eleanora" is a romantic story- a theme that many people do not associate with
Poe, but one that is evident in many of his works. It deals with a man's love for a
woman and her love for him. Poe uses many allusions in the story in describing
Eleanora and his love for her and her love for him. One thing that we might find
strange is that Eleanora was the narrator's young cousin-a situation that mirrors
Poe's life as he married his young cousin in real life. Another element of the story
that mirrors Poe's life is that Eleanora dies young, just like Virginia did in real life.
