The coat of arms is described by the narrator as‚ “a huge human foot d’or‚ in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel” (Poe 250). The coat

had to lie to her mom to go see the Pigman because she wouldn’t have trusted her. The antagonist of the story would have to be Lorraine‚ in the beginning of the story she didn’t want to go get the money from the Pigman when they called him for the prank they did. I would say that Lorraine mom had a lot of anxiety in the story‚ she was always worrying about Lorraine and where she was and what she was doing.
