Edgar Allen Poe’s Morbid Fascination with Death and Suffering
John Simmons
Death and suffering is the main theme of many of Poe’s greatest works. It isn’t only the horror of these stories that makes them so fantastic, but the way in which Poe creates and represents the horrifying actions and occurrences in each work. Poe presents the reader with seemingly normal circumstances and destroys or dissolves his characters lives into nothing more than dust with the use of his own terrible grindstone, his personal mindset towards horror.
One example of Poe’s artistic creation of death and suffering is “The Black Cat”. ... When written in Poe’s unique style the story becomes a masterpiece.
