The goal of this master thesis is to present the specter of fears that author Edgar Allan Poe presented in his short stories. These fears range from ever-existing fears such as the fear of death to fears of insanity, environment, being buried alive and also a fair bit of autobiographical fears that Poe included in his writing. Each of the fears will be analyzed individually through chapters while incorporating interchangeably the stories and characters in them. Therein the perspectives of fear from the standpoint of the characters will also be a topic of debate generally focusing on the two specters of perpetrators and victims which contribute a lot of to the stories and shed more light to what effects Poe was trying to achieve with his writing. Furthermore, Poe’s individual drive to the implementation of these fears will be put under a loop and the reader will thereby understand the motivation of Poe’s writing and his aim as a writer of common short stories as well as a writer of one of the most prominent horror stories ever written.
