"Morella" schildert die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich mit dem Tod seiner Frau Morella konfrontiert sieht, die ihm eine Tochter hinterlässt, die erstaunlich ihrem verstorbenen Mutterbildnis gleicht.

Diese Geschichten zeigen die Faszination Poes für die Themen Tod, Trauer und die Grenzen zwischen Leben und Tod.
