Entry #1 Le 23 juin, 1891 WHY!?!?!?!????? Ten years, wasted. My soul is pitch-black, I am nothing but the embodiment of depression. Entry #2 Le 24 juin, 1891 If only I had been brave enough to tell the truth. Now I am left broke, exasperated, disheartened and FURIOUS. However, I am not angry at my dear friend, [May I still call her that?] Amélie. No, I am enraged at my husband for giving me that wretched invitation!

Not when I was able to see Françoi’s eyes, the ones that held burning passion the ones with a desire to live How did I not see his eyes?

Even though I did not realize what he wanted, in the end, I can say that I loved him. I loved him enough to consider him in my malicious plan, not to put blame on him or to harm him, but to (attempt to) save him as well. I attempted to murder my husband because I did not want to leave him alone, without anyone to hold onto. He has given me so much, how could I leave him with no one? I am thankful that I have changed, I will learn to become a stronger person. I know what love is now. How times have

Dupin analyses unsolved mysteries and uses his advanced cognitive ability to deduce information to solve cases; thus, a new genre was born. To describe how Poe’s short stories both comply with the general expectations of detective fiction and how they defy them, I plan to examine The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Purloined Letter.
