- All the sections of the “Annabel Lee” poem from Mike Flanagan’s ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’
One stanza from the poem does seem to be missing, but this maybe creative choice.
All rights belong to those in the right.
It's truly painful to see a caring, gentle and goodhearted man Roderick was with his Annabel Lee, and what he became by choosing to follow his sister in her ambition and doing so, feeding his own dark egotistical desires. Annabel Lee was his heart, and he chose to kill it for greed and lust of power.
Sisters hay
But then he made the deal with Verna knowing he already had two kids, when Madeline didn’t even want to and she never had kids because of it. He was an absolutely terrible person
"You're the fucking wind Shakespeare!" That was funny
I am happy I am not the only who loves this part. This was definitely one of my favorite parts of the mini series.
One of the most fascinating interpretations of Poe's last complete poem.
The musical score at the end completes the scene. It's perfect.
Seriously, this show was amazing. I really loved it from first watch, but rewatching it brings new levels of appreciation. It’s an ode, an artistic love letter, from Flanagan to Poe. “Annabel Lee” is such a hauntingly beautiful, bittersweet poem. (It’s probably my favorite piece from Poe, and he’s maybe my favorite writer in all of literature.) And how the sentiments, and the actual lines, were woven into the series was *chef’s kiss*. Zach Gilford’s delivery captures that sweet, youthful innocence of first love you feel from the beginning of the poem, and Bruce Greenwood (and Katie Parker’s performance as Annabel) really delivers on that heartbreak from the latter half of the poem.
And slow clap 👏 for the comedic relief from Dupin/Carl Lumbly…”You’re the fucking wind, Shakespeare.” 😂
Of all the things that stuck with me from this show, this scene was my favorite.
Same
mine too...I watch over and over, esp the part in the church. bruce Greenwood managed to put pain and regret into it
The heart of the show
His sound is amazing
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea-
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Exactly, I keep listening to it again and again 😭
I just can't get over how good that series was ...
Kudos to Bruce Greenwood & his voice/delivery because I could listen to him read poetry all damn day. Also, while Roderick is NOT a smypathic character, this is one of only 2 times I felt somewhat bad for him because it's clear he loved Annabel Lee. Really the only other time he gets so emotional is the death of Lenore. I will say I find it interesting how Roderick reverts to speaking poetry for both Lenore and Anabel Lee. Using this form of spoken word that he had passion for (and could have made his career) to describe the two girls he loved most and lost is very impactful. When he says "my darling, my darling, my life and my bride"...oh I got all choked up!
Heart of the show!
I immediately cried from the moment I clicked this video until “ you are the f-king wind Shakespeare” dude WHY? Needless to say I was crying and laughing at the same time
Annabel lee "Radio Futura"
Dear lawd
I’ve always found this to be an allegory for Adam and Eve, perhaps even the first loss of humanity. The narrator is Adam and Annabel Lee is Eve.
The narrator is Poe.

How she died? They didn't show that..
She had a big hole through the back of her head when she appears at the funeral. It's implied that it was suicide.
She swallowed a bullet
good besides the swearing plz
It is paradoxical how Poe uses language at its highest expression while the cussing from this cast portrays the lowest expression of language
grow up, you absolute infants
The swearing was on point and funny. Such a beautiful poem about a lost love to a disease, an unavoidable tragedy. While actually here, Roderick was the disease who killed her by pushing her to suicide. Dupin admired her and was right to call out the bullshit!
