Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3 (A), Ruhr-University of Bochum (English Faculty), language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with Edgar Allan Poe ́s short stories "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", which are both examples of men who give in to a strange inner force which Poe himself calls "perverseness". His notion of this term is explicitly used in what could be called his "short-story-essay": "The Imp of the Perverse". First of all it is neccessary to explain what Poe meant by this certain force, apart and beyond the ordinary understanding of "perverseness". After that his two tales of terror mentioned above will be compared according to their common themes. First a short summary of each will be given, followed by the point-of-view-technique Poe uses for a certain purpose. Then the victims of the stories and the narrators ́ causes of fear will be explored. Both tales obviously deal with the causes of domestic violence that occur as the result of an irrational fear (either superstition or ancient belief). Then both protagonists will be characterized as perverse criminals who give in to their dark side and annihilate themselves. Furthermore there ́s a discussion of narrative style and images and the ending of the stories. At last especially "The Black Cat" is explored considering its content of truth. So the reader may see that Poe gave us two little masterpieces in human psychology to think about: The "spirit of perverseness" is lurking in everybody...

This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar American Gothic, language: English, abstract: "And much of Madness and more of Sin And Horror the Soul to the Plot." This line taken from Edgar Allan Poe’s poem ‘The Conquerer Worm’ perfectly describes the essential elements featured in many of Poe’s poems and stories, on which I am about to write in particular. Madness and horror, sins and the ‘Imp of the Perverse’ - The Evil, which lies within all of us - are popular and frequently recurring motives in Poe’s literary works and thereby create a mood and atmosphere quite dark and nightmarish. The reader is offered a deep glance into the abyss of the human mind and psyche. In this term paper I’m going to draw a comparison between two of Poe’s short stories, which both deal with the above mentioned concepts and images and therefore, are counted to the Gothic Genre - ‘The Black Cat’ and ‘The Tell-Tale Heart.’ The main focus of my work will lie on the similarities of the storytelling structures and the speech Poe uses to convey this certain feeling of suspense, horror and thrill. I will examine which further motives and images Poe uses in this two stories and which function they fulfil. I’m going to carry out my researches primarily with the help of the books: ‘Poe’ by Walter Lenning, ‘Poe – A Biography’ by Frank T. Zumbach, ‘The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction’ by Jerrod Hogle and ‘The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings’ by Edgar Allan Poe.
