The Black Cat
Hello, Block 2!
Click here to access a PDF copy of The Black Cat by Edgar Allen Poe. This is your best bet if you want to print it.
Click here for a link to an online ebook version of The Black Cat. This is easier to read online-- larger font.
After you read the story, answer at least one of the following questions in a blog post. The idea of blogging is to create a discussion, not post individual mini-essays. Please respond to other posters and feel free to ask questions. This should look like a written Socratic seminar.
Questions:
Now that you have read two stories by Poe, consider his style. What elements of each story do you see as unique to Poe's style?
What is the "fiend Intemperance" and how does it affect the story?
What is Poe's purpose and to what extent did he achieve it?
How does the narrator define "perverseness"? Do you agree with the definition? Do you agree that this is human nature?
