an interest in horror and fear
In their consequences, these events have terrified-have
tortured-have destroyed me To me, they have
presented little but Horror-to many they will seem less

intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to
the common-place-some intellect more calm, more
logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will
perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing
more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes
and effects.
"The Black Cat,"
Edgar Allan Poe
the juxtaposition of rationality and irrationality
a powerful and emotional love story
O a mysterious, decaying setting
an exploration of the psychology of the narrator
