How does "The Oval Portrait" reflect the overall cultural, literary, political, ideological, scientific, and moral climate of eighteenth century America?

The Oval Portrait reflects the overall cultural, literary, political, ideological, scientific, and moral climate of eighteenth-century America because the story develops the most common problems of the era. That, persons in the eighteenth century undervalued personal relationships to focus on certain objectives. We still do that in modernity, but in that era, women were more repressed and couldn't say any complaint, due to social pressure.

Explanation:

The Oval Portrait is a story of Edgar Allan Poe that talks about a painter and his wife. He convinces her to pose as a model for one of his works, then weeks passed and her health decayed. She became ill and he never realized she was in bad healths conditions because she never expressed any pain and he also never asked for her status. Finally, when he finishes the painting he discovers his wife died. It resembled how women would suffer the undervaluing of women, and how people would not care for their closest ones because of their ambition to achieve an objective.
