How Is The Black Cat Similar
Many people have read the short story “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe, but many people have not seen the Egyptian’s paintings with a black cat in it created by the “Kerameikos.” (www.theguardian.com) Although many people have not seen the Egyptian’s artwork, but they’ve read “The Black Cat” there are many similarities and differences. They are similar in ways that people don’t understand until they read an essay or story about both items.
The paintings of the Egyptian’s are about a black cat. The story of “The Black Cat” is similar to the Egyptians paintings because they both describe how well the cat’s get treated. The narrator loved his cat Pluto from the short story and the Egyptians loved their cat. They even let the cat do whatever
it wanted. In other words they both treated the cats well in the beginning. They are also similar because the narrator had started to abuse his cat and the cat also made him suffer until he made it leave by killing it. In the Egyptians work of art the cat treated the humans bad until the dogs came and chased the cat away and killed it. From that point on the dogs became called “a man’s best friend.”
Although the story and the artwork have two things in common they also have some differences. The Egyptians not only treated the cat good. They also worshipped the cat as if it were one of their many mythical Egyptian Gods. The narrator not only treated his cat good but he treated it like a pet instead of a mythical Egyptian God. In that way they are different from each other.
As you can see the Egyptians cat painting is similar because they treated their cat well until the dogs killed it. The dogs then became a man’s best friend. The Black Cat is different from the painting because the narrator treated his cat as a pet instead of an Egyptian Mythical God. Those are why the story and artwork are similar and different.
