The cat edgar allan poe5/13/2023 ![]() In the ‘Black Cat’ Poe sets the beginning of the story as bright and sunny to portray a much happier, normal life and during the darkening times, the weather changes to dark, dangerous ad sombre. In ‘the black cat’ Poe uses repetition in anaphora sentences ‘I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse’ this gives a different thrilling and effective use of the narrators need to reiterate his emotions in an order, I think this can be linked to my previous mention of his possible OCD.Īnother technique Poe uses to make his stories dramatic and effective is the setting and pathetic fallacy. In an early paragraph the narrator describes himself to possess ‘sagacity’ and throughout the story he praises his actions and reassures himself and the reader, ‘how calmly I can tell you the whole story’ but towards the end he begins to lose control over his ‘calmness’ and starts shouting (showing signs of madness). ![]()
