It is a well known fact that Edgar Allan Poe‘s stories are famous for producing horror or terror in his readers beyond description. However‚ it is one of this essay’s attempts to precisely describe these two characteristics present in The pit and the pendulum and The black cat. Horror may be defined as “the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is seen‚ heard‚ or otherwise experienced. It is the feeling one gets after coming to an awful realization or experiencing a

The Pit and the Pendulum vs. Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment: Not Quite So Different Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” is about a man that is put through torture and Hawthorne’s “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” is about a doctor who gives four elderly people a taste of water from the Fountain of Youth. “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” are definitely different as far as content goes but when examined a little more closely clear similarities can be found.

The pendulum shows elastic collision and conserved momentum. In this set up‚ no momentum is actually lost. Ball 0 just transfers its momentum to stationary ball 1 which it collides with(head-on collision) so ball 0 is put to stop then ball 1 collides with ball 2 causing ball 1 to stop and transfer its momentum to ball 2 and so on until the momentum gets transferred to ball 4 then ball 3 collides with ball 2 and the cycle continues.

One Title: Determination of the acceleration due to gravity with a simple pendulum Introduction and Theory: A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion‚ i.e. its periodic motion is defined by an acceleration that is proportional to its displacement and directed towards the centre of motion. It can be shown that the period T of the swinging pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length l of the pendulum: T2= (4π2l)/g with T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meters

Symbolism is an effective tool used by authors to construct meaning beyond the boundaries of literal understanding. It is the process by which ideas are expressed through the use of imagery that conveys meaning beyond its own physicality. In the novella ¬Heart of Darkness‚ Joseph Conrad uses symbolism to interrogate ideas and judgments of the imperialist ideology. Imperialism argues that colonization benefits both the colonized and the empire yet it looks to excuse its violent methods that ironically
