Edgar Allan Poe's Narrative Voice

He felt as if he was under a curse from the black cat and was stuck under it while the cat still roamed around his house. Towards the end of the story he wanted to kill the black cat but the black cat ended up getting him hung since the police discovered that he killed his own wife because the black cat basically led into murdering his

But sadly, he does not find out about the bat until his wife is dead. In the “The Feather Pillow,” there is the quote that says “It had stealthly appeared its mouth - its snout, rather to her tapes suck out her blood.” this quote express the theme of grotesqueness. Because the bat’s mouth was covered with blood which was his wife’s. In the story, the bat has been hiding in the wife’s pillow and drained her blood out from her body. Because the bat has been inside the pillow, it can be used as “entrapment” because the bat has been entrapped in the

The corpse of his wife in the wall with his black cat on top of her head was revealed. His pride was deprived. The last example of an overweening pride in “ The Masque of the Red Death”, the narrator told a story about the Red Death and Prince Prospero. Prince Prospero did not care for his suffering subjects who died from a serious disease called the Red Death. He invited his friends to the castle for a masked ball.

The narrator, in a drunken stupor, took the black cats’ eye out, then afterwards, after feeling some remorse at least, decided to hang the cat because he loved it. The narrator got another cat after this and became even more insane in the way he felt about this black cat.

In this story, there are two cats, Madame Phloi and Thapthim, and a fat man who hates the cats and always threatens the cats. There is no idea of revenge in the story until the fat man lures Thapthim to the edge of the window and makes him fall. While it is not said in the story, it can be inferred that this is when revenge starts. The fat man then tries to lure Madame Phloi to the edge of the window, but Madame Phloi moves away when he lunges at her and he falls to his death. In this story, revenge can be said to be used in an innocent way.

Macbeth begins to go insane after he murders King Duncan at the beginning of the play. Although he did it for a gain of power, he still feels very guilty. Macbeth starts saying weird things about what he heard, “Methought I heard a voice cry “Sleep no more!” to all the house. “Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor Shall sleep no more. Macbeth shall sleep no more.”” It seems that Macbeth just hears things that aren’t actually there.

Authors use various literary elements in short stories so their stories have more meaning to them. The short story “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan poe is about a guy who has an alcohol problem and he is married and has a black cat. He was abusive to both his cat and wife since he had a drinking problem but he would not physically abuse his wife. He loves his black cat Pluto but one day he got drunk and caused him to do something. Later on in the story he finds a cat that is just like Pluto but he has a splotch of white.

He used the inspiration and style of Poe’s work, plus the monsters he had created in his head to write his novels. He used writing as an escape from his thoughts and a way to get them down on paper to create something others would enjoy ("Comparison of the Live and Work of E. A. Poe and Stephen King"). King’s writing varies from the literature written by Edgar Allan Poe. King is said to be more “transparent in the writing he does, rather than Poe. ("Comparison of the Live and Work of E. A. Poe and Stephen King").

The ghost finally takes Hamlet to a quiet place and tells him the truth. Everyone heard that the King was bit by a poisonous snake in his sleep. The truth was that during the afternoon the king’s brother, Claudius, snuck into his room as the king was sleeping and poured poison in his ear. This was a murder that no one knew about because they all thought he was just bit. This infuriates Hamlet and causes him to want

In the third one, The Black Cat, a man, who was a suffered from alcoholism, was obsessed about the cat that he killed and was unsatisfied by a new cat he got, hoping it to be a sort of a makeshift for his dead cat. All three stories bear striking similarities, as well as noteworthy differences in terms of the contributing elements. In all of the stories, the narrator had a different perspective towards the obsession which led to madness. In The Black Cat, the narrator was the one to fall under the hands of obsession and showed signs that he was aware of his descent, but was completely helpless to stop it. In The Tale-Tell Heart, the narrator was victimized by obsession, but unlike in The Black Cat, he showed no indication that he was able to understand anything other than of his own
