According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary the definition of voice is “the ability to sing.” This is probably the most important criterion because an audience doesn’t want to listen to a song that contains a horrible voice.

Their voices fit perfectly in this song because they both have a serious tone in their voice to relate with the situation the song is addressing. For example, this song couldn’t be sang by two singers that have a high pitch happy voices because the message that is being portrayed is more of a serious tone rather than a happy tone; therefore, these two singers voices fit the part very well.

Edgar Allan Poe skilfully crafts two separate layers of meaning into his works; an exoteric level that is meant for casual consumption by the masses, and a second esoteric sub-level that involves heavy use of symbolism to tell a second deeper story and reserved only for the particularly astute literary elite. While Poe explores many reoccurring themes throughout his writing, one of the more common is guilt.
