In this story, narrator has some problems. Both narrator and his wife love animals and
They have variety animals in their home. They especially love their cat of which name is
Pluto and cat follows from behind them. This happiness finished when narrator came to
Home as drunk. When he opened door Pluto came near him but narrator wanted to send
Away it so he beat the cat with his feet. Otherwise Pluto didn’t go away from him hence
Narrator who was drunk took his pocketknife and removed Pluto’s one eye.
Narrator was getting worse obsession with black cats. Finally his odd behaviors took
His wife’s life. Allan Poe had described everything in a detailed way and he had used too
Complicated words in his story Black Cat. While I was reading this story I hardly understood
Because of his using complicated words many times.
While some people believe in black cats bring bad chance others believe that they
Don’t. I think narrator chose to emphasize that topic in his short story. Owing to Pluto’s
Bad chance narrator killed his wife but maybe he accidentally killed his wife. It changes
According to persons viewpoint. Narrator too much loves his cat in the beginning of story
Then he encountered many Problems in his life. I think that is because of his addiction of
alcohol.
Edgar Allan Poe’s describing the characters in detailed way can affect to people who
Read this story and they can consider that it based on a real event. That is Poe had written a
Successful short story.
