Write a compare and contrast essay explaining how Poe drew upon the history of the Inquisition in his short story “The Pit and the Pendulum." The essay should be about one page (approximately 200-250 words) in length. The essay should address the following points: How accurate is Poe’s account of the Inquisition? How is the Inquisition appropriate for the genre of horror? How important is the history of Inquisition to Poe’s short story?

Explanation:

The short story “The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe tells the story of a man who was tried and convicted by the inquisition and as a penalty was subjected to agonizing physical and psychological torture leaving him on the verge of madness and insanity.

Poe's account is accurate if we take into account that the inquisition used to make judgments for people that they believed had committed crimes. These trials ended with death sentences, but this was done through extreme torturous activities that caused a slow and painful death.

Due to its torture, the inquisition becomes an appropriate element for the genre terror, since its activities manage to make the reader feel fear disgust even pity feelings that must be transmitted by the works of this genre .

Therefore, we can conclude that Poe's choice to use the inquisition in his short story was very important, because it adds reality to his narrative, making the story more connectable and feared by the reader.
