Answer:
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Explanation:
Poe's main goal in writing was to create an effect in the reader in the form of an intense emotion or experience. He often chose the themes of his works not for their own sake, but because he thought they were best suited to creating the effect he desired, And if Poe's aim in this story was to unnerve his readers and fill us with dread, what better way to end than with "Darkness and Decay" and Death conquering all?
