Karya tulis telah lama menjadi media bagi manusia untuk mengungkapkan imajinasinya. Melalui ruang imajinasi yang dikembangkan begitu intens dan kaya, pembaca dibawa ke dalam interioritas cerita. Namun, di balik interioritas si cerita tersimpan simbol-simbol interioritas sang pengarang. Dengan mengambil tiga contoh karya Edgar Allan Poe, skripsi ini akan membahas tidak hanya interioritas cerita, namun mencoba untuk menelisik lebih mendalam simbol dibalik interioritas cerita dengan mengolah data menggunakan genius loci (Norberg Schulz,1991) dan Poetics of Space (Gaston Bachelard,1994).
