"In between trance and wakefulness, Valdemar tongue begs to quickly either put him back to sleep him."
I'd edit this if I knew what the last part (of the either/or) is supposed to be, but I haven't read the story. Tales 12:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
The man's name in the story is Ernest Valdemar. But who is M. Valdemar in the title? Is it an archaic version of Mr.(mister)?-- 87.184.136.234 ( talk) 09:50, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm just curious if anyone has rooted out any correlation of 'Valdemar' and J. K. Rowling's Lord Voldemort. There aren't any references connecting both (they may just merely sound similar to a non-native English speaker!), but Rowling's Voldemort is terribly afraid of death, and most of his motivation in the books is related to this fear of death (and, ultimately, his demise).
I read Poe's story many years before Rowling wrote her first book in the Harry Potter series, so I didn't make the connection until I came across this wiki page today (by pure coincidence)!
