  3. SUBJECT This story is about Poe's character finding a massive amount of collection of paintings. At first all look the same and none seem to standout until he stumbles upon one that seem to catch his eye. And as soon as he sets sight on it he develops a strong admiration for the portrait, until he finds out the history behind it… “for the first flashing of the candles upon that canvas had seemed to dissipate the dreamy stupor which was stealing over my senses, and to startle me at once into waking life.’

  4. OCASION The story took place in a château filled with candelabrums to set a bark and brim mood. Most of the story took place around night to add more dramatic effect to the story. “THE chateau into which my valet had ventured to make forcible entrance, rather than permit me, in my desperately wounded condition, to pass a night in the open air.”

  5. AUDIENCE This writing is meant for any one to take the time out to read a tragic love story about a love VS. an obsession. “she a maiden of rarest beauty, and not more lovely than full of glee; all light and smiles, and frolicsome as the young fawn; loving and cherishing all things; hating only the Art which was her rival;”

  6. PURPOSE The main reason Poe wrote this story is to entertain the reader with an amazing and well written love story. Or it can bean reflection on how in a way he felt guilty for his wife’s death. “And then the brush was given, and then the tint was placed; and, for one moment, the painter stood entranced before the work which he had wrought; but in the next, while he yet gazed, he grew tremulous and very pallid, and aghast, and crying with a loud voice, 'This is indeed Life itself!' turned suddenly to regard his beloved: -- She was dead! “

  7. SPEAKER The speaker wants the reader to feel sorry that the young woman had to fight and compete with a painting for her husbands love and attention. “It was thus a terrible thing for this lady to hear the painter speak of his desire to pourtray even his young bride.”

  8. TONE The author wants the reader to feel the same admiration for the for the painting as he does but to also feel bad that with every stroke of the brush she felt as if she was fading away from her husband and their love was dying  “she saw that the painter (who had high renown) took a fervid and burning pleasure in his task, and wrought day and night to depict her who so loved him, yet who grew daily more dispirited and weak.”
