Poe makes us understand that the narrator is mad by making him talk and shout directly at us‚ by using exclamation marks as his punctuation. When you read what the narrator is saying to you‚ you can feel the emotion‚ and hear the speed and volume of his voice. He does this by the use of punctuation‚ short sentences‚ and putting some words into capitals; one example of a capital worded sentence is‚ ‘it was A LOW‚ DULL‚ QUICK SOUND – MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON.’ The

In Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals‚ Nietzsche states two essential types of morality‚ master morality and slave morality. Master morality bases its concepts off of good and bad while slave morality bases its concepts off of good and evil.

Friedrich Nietzsche is quoted to have said‚ “He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying” (Guillemets‚ 1998).
