Authors put a lot of effort into their work, but do things like foreshadowing hint at what is coming next in the story? Foreshadowing is a widely known literary device used in all sorts of literature, adding little things that may hint a future outcome. The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allen Poe, and Scarlet Ibis, by James Hurst, are two of the many short stories that have a lot of foreshadowing, but are presented in different ways. In both of these stories, most of the foreshadowing shows off death, so the authors used a more grim style. The reason why these two short stories were chosen, though, was because of how the writers applied the technique into the plot.

The short stories “The Black Cat” and “The Masque of Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe are considered horror stories. For a story to be a horror they must be able to define certain characteristics such as being fearful, being suspenseful, being surprising, have some spoilers, and overall it should be mysterious. Since these two stories are considered horror stories they should have at least one example of each of these characteristics and they should overall be frightening to most audiences. “The Black Cat” defines each of the characteristics, the man’s wife was fearful of the cat because of the superstitions of black cats. The reader was suspenseful when the police came after the murder of the wife and started searching the house, they did not
Poe develops suspense in his narrative “the Black Cat”, through his character’s personalities, such as; anger, hostility, and hate. The events in the story that carried suspense would be death, murder, and immorality. Personalities; hate, hostility, anger, these feelings are extremely important in Poe’s story “the black cat”. Furthermore, the narrator is depicted as murderous short-fused and immoral in the sense that he kills Pluto only because Pluto loved him.
In the story “The Cask of Amontillado,” by Edgar Allan Poe creates a mood that is dark and suspenseful and is developed by the image of the maze, the uneasiness of following, and the image of burying someone. First, the mood can be supported by a mental image on page four when it says “We passed through a range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt.” For example, this gives us and dark mood because of the setting we can mentally see, followed by suspense of what is going to happen underground. Next, Poe’s astounding imagery can help us feel the suspenseful mood when he wrote “... as he stepped unsteadily forward, while I followed immediately at his heels,” also on page four. In other words, because
There are many similarities in Poe’s writing I've noticed. Number one is there are very dark and twisted themes and ideas in each story. Including many hidden meanings and symbols that are hidden between the lines. The murders of rue morgue, the black cat, and the cask of amontillado all have a troubled past and both try to do something they all regret or are unaware of what they are doing. However at the end the themes are all revolving around death.
A variety of emotions can build up inside of someone’s mental capacity to make them commit a crime as bad as murder without thinking about any of the consequences or conflicts that may arise following the victim’s death. Every single murderer caught or on the run, in any case always has a reason to the actions he has committed. In Cask of Amontillado, one of the literary devices Poe uses is symbolism. Symbolism is the action, dialogue, or event of a character that has a deeper
Poe was emphatically influenced by Gothic writing, and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1954) with its mind-set of crawling horror and imminent death in an Italian palazzo, most unquestionably demonstrates those impacts. This and numerous other Poe stories are rich in Gothic themes such as madness, cruelty, perversion, and obsession, and feature a various rationally unequal storytellers; Montresor positively qualifies on this number. Poe, in turn, influenced later Gothic writing, especially Southern Gothic. This strand highlights Poe-like dim diversion and gives careful consideration to mind boggling, agitated, even silly characters and the general public in which they live than to the powerful themes often supported in British Gothic fiction (Poe, Edgar Allan, 2001). "The Cask of Amontillado" refers to a nonexistent container of wine the speaker uses to attract a contender wine expert into a crypt so the narrator can kill him.

The Romantic period brought a style of literature previously unexplored by even the most famous authors of the time. As this time period developed into a separate literary genre, authors of previous timed developed a personal preference to light or dark romance.

His pieces include characteristic literary techniques which identifies both stories as belonging to the dark romantic style.

Fear is the most used of all the techniques used by Poe. He seems to feel it and he is able to draw up a whole story that is all based on fear.. Both stories are based on domestic violence cases, one with the wife, and the other one with the black cat. We can also see that
