In the short story The Black Cat‚ there are a few symbols represented throughout the story. The one that I think is the most interesting is the Black Cat itself.

Indeed‚ even the narrator himself is aware of this fact that he is going insane somehow‚ and even with this knowledge and the knowledge that he continues to proceed in his insanity it’s not enough to stop his descent.
