Morella by Edgar Allan Poe | Gothic Horror, Identity and a Haunting Resemblance

Can a person’s identity survive death? Edgar Allan Poe’s “Morella” follows a husband whose fascination with his wife’s forbidden studies turns to dread. After her death, he raises a daughter whose appearance, intelligence and speech seem increasingly familiar. The child remains unnamed as affection gives way to a fear he cannot explain. Henrique Couto narrates this Gothic horror story of marriage, occult philosophy and the unsettling boundary between resemblance and return. One name carries everything the father has tried to bury.
