Edgar Allan Poe wrote that the single effect was the most important aspect of a short story‚ which everything must contribute to this effect. Poe’s gothic tale "The Black Cat" was written trying to achieve an effect of shocking insanity. In this first person narrative the narrator tells of his decline from sanity to madness‚ all because of an obsession with two (or possibly one) black cats. These ebony creatures finally drive him to take the life his wife‚ whose death he unsuccessfully tries to conceal

Edgar Allan Poe‚ considered the greatest American horror fiction writer of all time‚ has not always been as praised as he is today. The consistent backlash and disregard to his work diminished how high quality all of them are. Most writers of his era bash his works because of the strange‚ horrific‚ and grotesque ideas that are within the text. Other writers just believed him to be a drunk and drug addict with outlandish ideas. Close to two hundred years ago‚ the literature that Edgar Allan Poe created

Edgar Allan Poe Although Edgar Allan Poe endured many hardships and suffered many losses throughout his life‚ he resorted to his passion of poetry to help him cope with the loss. He lost his mother to tuberculosis and his father abandoned him and his siblings when he was just a young boy.

raven in the famous book by Edgar Allen Poe‚ The Raven‚ is completely imaginary in my opinion. The way he portrays it the raven is almost ghostly and all in the narrator’s head. The bird starts to talk in this poem‚ which is impossible for a “raven” to do. The raven also is personified and twisted with words by Edgar to make it seem like the burden of his loss Lenore that lives with him every day. The bird is not real in this poem and is just simply a figment of Edgars imagination. The bird talks

Edgar Allen Poe’s allegorical short story The Masque of the Red Death is an unflawed demonstration of mankind’s unwillingness to face demise.
