With many of his works revealing an interest with the dark side of human nature, Poe’s personal life may have contributed to the morbid, creepy style of writing he commonly uses. A victim of misfortune, Poe encountered many ill-fated events throughout his lifetime (death in his family, troubles with his foster father, and his compulsive gambling to name a few).

Bernstein, one of the most unreliable narrators, gives the first significant reference to memories when he tells the reporter Thompson, “it’s surprising what a man remembers.” His memories of Kane are illustrated by his intense fondness for him. Thompson later meets with Leland, who is obviously suffering from the effects of old age. Also claimed that he couldn’t remember the name of Kane’s estate (Xanadu).

The attachments were so strong that Victor refers to Jimi Hendrix and his father as “drinking buddies. " His father became wistful and dependent on alcohol after him and Victor’s mother’s marriage started to take a turn for the worse.

I hated myself for it and felt the lump in my throat, wishing I had not indulged again. I arrived at the office building early and sat in the parking lot, but soon I found sitting there was making my nerves cringe, so clutching my document called “The Forgotten Girl”, I locked my car and hurried inside to the large professional looking lobby, fearing the whole time I was being watched from windows above for no reason other than to see how fat I was. I tried to think of the words my husband would say “I’m so proud of you, you can do
