One idea in “Ulalume” is that how grief and memory make you think about how we cope with loss.  The poem reminds us readers how even when we want to heal, the weight of grief can hold us back. This shows how it encourages us to face our emotions instead of ignoring them, showing how important it is to not ignore how we feel.
