Pit and the Pendulum Reader Response Poe’s story is of a person sentenced to death by torture during the Spanish Inquisition. The story is an account of the narrator’s time from sentencing and throughout his journey during incarceration. It’s a tale of hope and despair. A story of one’s mental ability while facing an eminent death. Of this the narrator says‚ ‘It was hope—the hope that triumphs on the rack—that whispers to the death-condemned even in the dungeons of the Inquisition.’ Unusual for

With Kurtz’ dying words being “The horror! The horror!” the readers are left with the question as to what he meant by that statement. And as one of those readers‚ I could only come to the conclusion that he was referring to the horror being a form of emptiness‚ a profound nothingness that lies at the heart of everything. At the beginning of the novel‚ Kurtz’s character has been a great mystery to Marlow and everyone else. And as the story progresses‚ we learn that his immersion in the wilderness

Narrative Style in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness The Heart of Darkness employs‚ broadly‚ a three framed narrative style. Conrad‚ the author‚ places an unnamed narrator aboard the Nellie with Marlow‚ who is the third narrator/frame.

1) The language is magnificent. For a reader such as myself‚ who likes to get lost in tangential thoughts mid-sentence‚ Conrad offers a warm bath we can soak in. I often just let the sentences flow over me in waves of color and music (I usually read Faulkner this way too)‚ but if I want to stop and extract all the meaning from one of his dense little beauties I just pull the golden ribbon and what appears to be a knot of words opens up nicely.
