	Poe Ligeia Essays - Mirroring in Edgar AIlan Poe's Ligeia
		Ligeia is the woman who lends her name to the title of the narrative and the woman who is named as beloved in the very next breath.
		Ligeia's eyes are important not because they are concrete, but because, in their haunting dark luminosity, they are the portals to the dream world that Ligeia represents.
		Ligeia could not have been a real woman--she could only be the symbol of idealized Woman, serving as the phantom inspiration who hovers over the narrator's shoulder in the dead of night, whispering his madness in recitable lines of poetry and perfect art.

	SparkNotes: Poe’s Short Stories: “Ligeia” (1838)
		“Ligeia” is Poe’s most successful attempt to merge the Gothic grotesque with the traditional love story, elements also combined in “Berenice” and “Morella.” Ligeia gives the story its name, and every detail of the plot draws its purpose from her character because she is the object of the narrator’s love.
		Whether or not Ligeia’s return from the dead is actually, physically real or an opium-induced delusion, her apparent physical manifestation at the end of the story means that she has become more real for the narrator than a memory.
		What survives of Ligeia is not her soul, but the materialized form of her body, conveyed symbolically, in the last scene of the tale, by her dark hair.

	Poe's 'Ligeia'
		Joel Salzberg has taken note of the fact that Ligeia's shrinking from the narrator's touch after her reincarnation suggests her aversion to him, an aversion inconsistent with the love she expresses for him when she is dying.
		One need not be convinced by this compiling of detail, but it does not require an overly active imagination to take the hint that Ligeia has taken more than one body in her time and that she uses men such as the narrator without their knowledge to procure the bodies she needs for reincarnation.
		"Ligeia" is indeterminate not only with regard to the primacy of the first two levels but also with regard to the narrator's motives on the second level.

	LIGEIA by E. A. Poe (1838) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-05-31)
		I mean to say that, subsequently to the period when Ligeia's beauty passed into my spirit, there dwelling as in a shrine, I derived, from many existences in the material world, a sentiment such as I felt always aroused within me by her large and luminous orbs.
		Of all the women whom I have ever known, she, the outwardly calm, the ever-placid Ligeia, was the most violently a prey to the tumultuous vultures of stern passion.
		Then rushed upon me a thousand memories of Ligeia --and then came back upon my heart, with the turbulent violence of a flood, the whole of that unutterable wo with which I had regarded her thus enshrouded.

		And (strange, oh strangest mystery of all!) I found, in the commonest objects of the universe, a circle of analogies to theat expression.
		I have spoken of the learning of Ligeia: it was immense --such as I have never known in woman.

	Ligeia
		I scrutinized the formation of the chin--and, here too, I found the gentleness of breadth, the softness and the majesty, the fullness and the spirituality, of the Greek--the contour which the god Apollo revealed but in a dream, to Cleomenes, the son of the Athenian.
		In the classical tongues she was deeply proficient, and as far as my own acquiantance extended in regard to the modern dialects of Europe, I have never known her at fault.
		Ligeia grew ill. The wild eyes blazed with a too--too glorious effulgence; the pale fingers became of the transparent waxen hue of the grave; and the blue veins upon the lofty forehead swelled and sank impetuously with the tides of the most gentle emotion.

		Ammesso che Ligeia sia un essere sovrannaturale che ritorni in vita, probabilmente una specie di vampira, esaminiamo il suo tempio sacrale con la dovuta attenzione: " The room lay in a high turret of the castellated abbey, was pentagonal in shape, and of capacious size.
		Occupying the whole southern face of the pentagon was the sole window --an immense sheet of unbroken glass from Venice --a single pane, and tinted of a leaden hue, so that the rays of either the sun or moon, passing through it, fell with a ghastly lustre on the objects within.
		Ligeia viene accostata per similitudine alla falena, alla farfalla, alla crisalide, e ad un corso d'acqua: il significato simbolico che deriva da tutti questi paragoni è quello della crescita, della trasformazione, della rinascita.

	Ligeia Study Guide
		Still mourning the loss of Ligeia, he became addicted to opium and sought solace in a second marriage, to fair-haired and blue-eyed Lady Rowena Trevanion of Tremaine.
		Poe is also careful to capture the reader's attention at the very outset by introducing Ligeia as a uniquely beautiful but mysterious woman whom he loved with such depth that he still longs for her many years after her death.
		It may be that Poe wished to cast Lady Rowena, the narrator's second wife in "Ligeia," as a symbol of conventional, romantic beauty in order to contrast her with Ligeia's unconventional, dark, ethereal beauty.

		There is no point, among the many incomprehensible anomalies of the science of mind, more thrillingly exciting than the fact--never, I believe, noticed in the schools--that, in our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember.
		Ligeia grew ill. The wild eyes blazed with a too--too glorious effulgence; the pale fingers became of the transparent waxen hue of the grave, and the blue veins upon the lofty forehead swelled and sank impetuously with the tides of the gentle emotion.
		How had I deserved to be so blessed by such confessions?--how had I deserved to be so cursed with the removal of my beloved in the hour of her making them, But upon this subject I cannot bear to dilate.

		However, after some years together Ligeia falls ill, and it becomes clear her illness is terminal.
		As parts of the cloth trail away, however, he discovers to his horror that the shrouded body is not Rowena at all, but Ligeia, who has returned to him as she promised.
		Ligeia, as the narrator's soulmate, is also his doppelganger; but in death she subsumes the body and the identity of Rowena, actually erasing her as if she'd never existed at all.

		There is no individual portion of the architecture and decoration of that bridal chamber which is not now visibly before me.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Tomb of Ligeia (1965)
		Shooting on location, in the honest-to-gosh English countryside, the director has unbound Ligeia from the stagy, claustrophobic studio sets that marked the rest of the series.
		Unfortunately, the change is merely cosmetic, and the result is a lackluster ending to a classic cycle of horror movies.
		Verden Fell (Vincent Price) believes his deceased wife Ligeia's will is so strong that she will return from the grave.

		And thus, how frequently, in my intense scrutiny of Ligeia's eyes, have I felt approaching the full knowledge of the secret of their expression — felt it approaching — yet not quite be mine — and so at length entirely depart.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE TOMB OF LIGEIA / AN EVENING OF EDGAR ALLAN POE (DOUBLE FEATURE)
		Cinematically, THE TOMB OF LIGEIA plays like a gothic romance in the vein of Jane Eyre, although this film is indeed firmly rooted in the gothic horror genre.
		While at Ligeia’s grave, Verden meets The Lady Rowena Trevanion (Elizabeth Shepherd) and surprisingly a romance blossoms.
		THE TOMB OF LIGEIA is a very different looking movie from the rest of the Poe series because director Roger Corman produced the film in England and was able to shoot on actual outdoor locations, instead of the confined artifice of soundstages.
