Edgar Allan Poe & his stories

 Hello readers !

                        Edgar Allan Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is primarily based on his ingenious and profound short stories, poems, and critical theories, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in both poetry and fiction. Regarded in literary histories and handbooks as the architect of the modern short story, Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th-century European literature.

                       Poe was accomplished in fiction, poetry, and criticism, setting standards in all three that distinguish him from most of his American contemporaries. In fiction, he is credited with inventing the conventions of the classical detective story, beginning the modern genre of science fiction, and turning the conventions of gothic fiction to the uses of high art in stories such as The Fall of the House of Usher. He was also an accomplished humorist and satirist.

💠 The Black Cat Psychological Analysis :

              Psychology in Poe’s Black Cat The psychology or mental state of the narrator of Edger Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” is a broad area to analyze. The human mind is one of the most complex structures in this world. It is difficult to understand each brain process as every human being possesses their own distinguished thought patterns with different levels of complexities.

            In short, the tale of the Black Cat is a confession of a complex murderer claiming to be a good person; a tale of transcendentalism. There is no doubt that the character portrays a level of intricacy behind his logic, yet his narration is unreliable in the sense that he descends into alcoholism. In context, this could be regarded as a reflection of Poe’s descent with alcohol in his  later years.
