Alone the most intense poem by edgar allan poe :
In Alone, Poe reflects upon a life experienced as an emotional outsider.

The narrator’s experience of perceiving life and emotions differently to others in Edgar Allen Poe's Alone, has led to him feeling isolated and here he is questioning why he sees things so differently. The beauty and irony of Alone's major theme - that of feeling isolated, different, misunderstood - is one that many people can relate to, the very act of expressing these feelings through poetry connects the writer with others who feel the same.

Edgar Allen Poe’s early life was full of tragedy and by the time this poem is thought to have been written, despite his relatively young age, he had experienced a large amount of loss. Known for his darker-themed works, it perhaps makes sense in this context that where others see a blue sky, he often struggled to see past the ‘demon in his view’.
