Poe's Man in the Crowd: Types of People Based On Appearance

     Throughout life, clothing and body language are often utilized as
sources of emotional expression.  These emotions can also be portrayed in
literaray works and artisitic displays, such as those of Poe, Baudelaire, Manet,
and Warhol.  In Poe's  “Man of the Crowd,” there are several descriptions of
different types of people based on their appearances, but one particular man is

Although the narrator had never spoken to this man of the crowd, he was
compelled to follow him based on his expression that had never been viewed by
the narrator.  He continued to follow the man of the crowd, noticing his
patterns of following people by the mass and his shambled cloting and he

alone.”

     Prior to viewing the man of the crowd, the narrator observed several
