...similar vein, with scenes and songs based on Poe’s poetry and his difficult experiences—both romantic and maternal—with women. As each woman sequentially enters and leaves the stage, a new dimension of meaning is placed upon each poem; the muse behind the words is unveiled. The women separately represent something to Edgar, a trait of character or quality of life that he never had.
