The legacy of Edgar Allen Poe continues through his ongoing popularity as a writer. тАШHop-FrogтАЩ, like many of his best stories, carries the force of parable. It is a curious mixture of revenge, horror, and spectacle, It's all about a kingтАЩs jester- a dwarf- who exacts spectacular brutal vengeance on the cruel monarch. The story was first published in March 1849. ItтАЩs a tale about the тАЬlittle manтАЭ triumphing over his evil oppressors and earning his freedom in a literal blaze of glory. тАШHop-FrogтАЩ can be analyzed as a story about tyranny, slavery, and revolution. ItтАЩs not PoeтАЩs most famous or best-loved story, but itтАЩs an enjoyable tale.
