Crazy, depressed, psychotic, dark, creepy man. This is how a lot of general people view Poe right? And this is the issue we've been discussing in the past few weeks as to whether this is an accurate description of the author and poet.
Poe has become a popular icon in many other works of literature, music, and television. I was watching some old re-runs of Sabrina the Teenage Witch a few weeks ago and got excited when the episode I was watching had Poe in it! Then I got to thinking, how have other shows portrayed him? The same way most of the public sees him as depressed and scary?
I will be discussing this topic and I've put together the clips from that Sabrina episode just as an example. It can be found: http://gallery.mac.com/wunus#100059

I liked this clip. It was full of little ironic innuendos on Poes life and what we have learned about him so far in class. Good job finding that one, who doesn't love a little Sabrina once and a while?
