One of Poe's most famous short stories is "The Black Cat." It recounts the story of a guy who gradually becomes insane and unleashes his frustration and wrath on his black cat. The cat represents the evil aspect of man, and as the man's mental state deteriorates, so does the cat (Louis 314). The narrative examines the nature of evil and its slide into insanity. While the paper discusses the tone of "The Black Cat," which is horror and suspense, creating a sense of discomfort in the reader. Poe achieves this impact through various stylistic choices, including short, abrupt words and a first-person narrator.
