Edgar Allen Poe Biography Summary & Conflict

I have started reading a book about Edgar Allen Poe and he didn't have an easy life.  Edgar was born January 19, 1809, to David and Elizabeth Poe in Boston, Massachusetts.  Edgar's parents couldn't take care him for various reasons one being his dad was an alcoholic and his mother died of tuberculosis.  Edgar was given to a wealthy merchant and his wife while siblings were given to his uncle.  Edgar as a child was mischievous and had a vivid imagination he got into trouble here and there but he managed to weasel his way out.



In the book I'm reading about Edgar Allen Poe there are various conflicts but only one was actually major.  Edgar thought that disease was linked with beauty because his mother had died when he was young and then his wife had the same fate.  Even though it was tragic for his loved ones to die so early on Edgar was in a way inspired to write his dark/gruesome stories.
