Edgar Allen Poes The Black Cat, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Am

Edgar Allen Poes The filthy Cat, The Tell-Tale Heart and The barrel of AmontilladoIn each of Edgar Allen Poes stories of murder and madness, he takes us in spite of appearance the top dog of the murderer from the time he begins until after the deed has been done. Poe gives us a point of view not common in kit and boodle of horror and suspense the killers. We read the thoughts and follow the actions of the killer as he plots and follows through with his victim?s demise. All three of his stories be alike, peculiarly The sullen Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart. However, I found that The Cask of Amontillado differ more than whatever of the other ii from each other. While the murderers in The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart are motivated by their own insanity, the character in The Cask of Amontillado is goaded by pure, elderly-fashioned revenge and jealousy. A couple main details I noticed about either three tales is that each floor is told in first person, and all of the ma in characters are male. Also, in the land up of each of these short stories all men turn out to be no better, if not much worse, than they already were.The ?Tell-Tale Heart? begins with the murderer raving about his sanity, and that he commits the crime not because of lunacy however for his assure?s ?Evil-Eye.? The man describes the eye as if it is a separate entity from the old man, and if it weren?t for the eye he would have nothing against his master. The eye organism attached to the old man is just an unfortunate detail. In the avocation quote the man describes his feelings towards the Evil-Eye and what he decided to do about it ?Whenever it cut down upon me, my blood ran cold and so by degrees-very gradually-I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself ... ...d in many part of the home of each of the murderers. Also, in both of ?The Tell-Tale Heart? and ?The Cask of Amontillado? the killer?s guilty consciences eventually caused some sort of confession of their crimes. The man in the first account was driven mad into confessing from an fanciful heart beat, and the man in the latter is left to believe his conscience is what caused him to write his story confessing his crime. Both men in ?The Tell-Tale Heart? and ?The Black Cat? were extremely confident in their job hiding the bodies, and some bragging at their job at hiding the body. However, in all three stories the men were punished in some way. The first two stories I described had the law punishing the two men. The final story I described the man was never caught by the authorities for his crime, but instead he had to deal with the weight from his guilty conscience.
