Allen Poe’s short stories “Tell-Tale Heart” and “Black Cat”‚ Poe creates mood using symbolism‚ first person point of view and repetition. These two stories have similar and different aspects.

Also in the Black Cat the cat itself symbolises that something bad will happen. In the

Шолпан‚ ПД-11-1 "The Black Cat" is a famous short story from horror-master Edgar Allan Poe. It was first printed on August 19‚ 1843‚ in the Philadelphia edition of a newspaper called the United States Saturday Post. We think a newspaper is a perfect place for it. This lurid tale reads like something right out of the headlines – bizarre headlines to be sure. Gruesome news items were just as popular in Poe’s time as they are in ours. Like many news stories‚ "The Black Cat" can be a downer. Stripped

of words‚ and with this poem‚ he paints not just a picture of cats and their regal ancestors‚ but of all beings remembering their past. It is a reminder to humans too‚ that we would not be as content and happy‚ like the cat on the mat‚ except for the work and toil of our ancestors. Tolkien’s language increases in complexity as it describes the wildcat ancestors of the housecat‚ but becomes simpler again when the focus returns to the cat on the mat.

“The Black Cat” “The Black Cat” is narrated by a man on the day before he is to be put to death for the crime of murdering his wife. He can be considered an unreliable narrator. This is because his deeds do not match his words. He states‚ “From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition” and “I was especially fond of animals‚ and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets” (514). He then gouges the eye out and later kills the family pet‚ a cat‚ in cold blood
