Poe's symptomatic need to portray dying or already dead women is evocative of his own failed and miserably spent marriage life to his young cousin. "e;Morella"e;, in a way similar to "e;Ligeia"e;, explores man's infatuation with fatal women, and how difficult one's life becomes once this woman gains access to knowledge and freedom. The vampiric Morella is a personification of the narrator's sin, and the themes of dying and resurrection reign supreme in other stories as well, such as "e;The Fall of the House of Usher"e; and "e;Berenice"e;. The story is adapted into a movie by "e;the pope of popular cinema"e; Roger Corman in 1962.-
