To answer the question of this analysis, the writer uses several theories of literature and psychology. The theories of Literature that the writer uses are Mimetic (Imitation), Expressive (feeling inward that affects the writing) and Affective (outside condition that effects the author to write the story) and the theories of Psychology are: psychoanalysis and Neurosis, but actually the writer does not put them all together in her analysis (Chapter IV).

Introvert vs. Extrovert, Self Perversity/Stubborn/ Consistent with His Own Low, inferiority, Coping Mechanism (Alcohol) and His structure of personality based on psychoanalysis. In conclusion the psychology aspects of Edgar Allan Poe in his real life really exist in the story that he made. Even though the analysis that the writer is not in objective way but there are the existences of language features inside the story and the theory that can become proofs. After making her analysis, the writer also suggests for the short story lovers to read the story in active way in order to examine content that can be learned for and for teachers and lecturers, hopefully they can introduce literature as a pleasure but as an educative lesson which wraps in fun, simple and unique ways.
