What Is The Relationship Between Poe And Mermaids

In this I'm going to compare Death, Helena Bonham Carter, Japan, Edgar Allan Poe, and mermaids.

Mermaids and Sirens were merpeople who: “Dwelled near rocky cliffs and sung to passing sailors”(Radford, Benjamin). Both had led sailors to their death by using their beautiful voices to direct them towards rocky shoals and wreck their ships upon them(Radford).

Triton, however was the first merman he was said to have a long white beard with a green scaly tail. He was called Triton because he carried a triton with him at all times, he was the messenger of the sea. Some of them were said to: “Befriend, and even marry humans”(Radford, Benjamin). There were only three sirens in existence who were the handmaidens of Persephone. Persephone was raped and abducted which is how the sirens came to be, they were made into bird women to search for Persephone. Shortly after that, they went to the rocky cliffs and led sailors to their deaths, but then came along the Argonauts who had gotten help from Orpheus to pass unharmed(“Seirenes”). After that Odysseus came along and put wax in his men's ears and tied himself to the mast so that he could not be touch the wheel of the ship and lead them to their
Helena was born May 26, 1966 in Golders Green, London, England. Helena’s parents are Elena Bonham Carter, a psychiatrist and Raymond Bonham Carter, a merchant banker. She is the youngest of three Bonham Carter children(“Helena Bonham Carter”). Helena went to South Hampstead and West Minister school for middle and high school. Shortly after she pursued a career as an actress. Helena has royalty in her family: “Through her father she is the great-granddaughter of Prime Minister Herbet H. Asquith”(“Helena Bonham Carter”). She is several movies such as Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and the Harry Potter franchise. She was: “Often referred to as “the corset queen” or “English Rose” because of her earlier work”(“Helena Bonham Carter”). She married Tim Burton in 2011, and had Billy Ray in 2003, and Nell in 2007. After being married for fifteen years they split up in September of 2016. Helena has been nominated for many oscars and a fun fact is that in all of Tim Burton’s movies she works alongside her co worker, Johnny Depp(“Helena Bonham Carter”). That was about how Helena is thriving as an actress. Helena Bonham Carter has something to do with death in all of the movies she’s
