"Morella" by Edgar Allan Poe is a classic horror and gothic short story that explores the themes of death, identity, and the supernatural. The narrator marries a woman named Morella, who is deeply knowledgeable about philosophy and spends her time teaching her husband. As Morella's health declines, the narrator becomes afraid and wishes for her death. After Morella dies in childbirth, her daughter bears a striking resemblance to her mother and the narrator refuses to give her a name. When the daughter is baptized at age 10, Morella's soul returns to her body and she dies, leaving the narrator to bury both women in the same tomb. The uncanny events that occur in the story and the eerie atmosphere that surrounds it make it a quintessential example of classic horror and gothic literature.
