Identify the absolute phrase in the following paragraph:
In response to concerns regarding Edgar Allan Poe’s writings as littered by “dead women’s bodies,” scholars have attempted to make sense of the frequent feminine fatality in a number of ways (De Prospo 57). Some believe it a response to existing trauma—re-creation as coping mechanism, part of Poe’s process of bereavement following the early loss of his mother (Lewis). Others hold it as evidence of emotional and sexual repression, the dead woman serving as the only non-threatening type of mature woman available to the poet (Fukuchi). And others still draw lines between the violence of Poe’s female forms and philosophical wrestling matches with the mystery of death, dead and dying women as reminders or representatives of the narrator/author’s own mortality (Gargano).
