Another of Poe's more popular works. It's the story of a man's attempt to survive in a torture chamber during the Spanish Inquisition, one of the most deadly inquisitions in history. This isn't really a horror story. It's more of a suspenseful thriller. If you had been sentenced to death in a torture chamber, what would you do? Did you know the Spanish Inquisition ended during Poe's lifetime? We tend to think it happened in the Middle Ages, but torturing people because they wouldn't convert to Christianity officially ended in , when Poe was 25 years old.
Given the title of this story, its already obvious what it's about.
How that dreadful cold could actually be a SKIN INFECTION like cellulitis
It's definitely a scary story. Poe makes you feel like you are there. Read this story carefully because there is also an important lesson to be learned. The unendurable oppression of the lungs- the stifling fumes from the damp earththe clinging to the death garmentsthe rigid embrace of the narrow housethe blackness of the absolute Nightthe silence like a sea that overwhelms Purloined simply means stolen.
Best Novel
A document of national importance has been stolen and the police can't find it or prove who stole it. Poe's character, C. Auguste Dupin, comes to the rescue, solves the crime and recovers the letter. It's great to read how the police go through all of their usual methods and are unsuccessful. Dupin comes along and figures it all out using the powers of deduction as his only weapon. A short piece, only a couple of pages long, it is more like a dream than a story with real characters.
It is full of symbolism and rich imagery. Very deep, very intense. I'd like to know what Poe was thinking when he wrote this. Was he trippin? Maybe he had been drinking Absinthe? An ancient egyptian mummy comes to life, but not to chase anyone around a tomb.
This is a science fiction story, not a tale of horror. If you look carefully, you'll find a little sarcastic humor here and there. The mummy has a story of his own to tell, and its quite an interesting one, to say the least. Another example of Poe's fantastic imagination. This is another of Poe's few comedies but it's a great one. The narrator of the story is a young man who is in love with an aristocratic woman.
The story is about his pursuit of her and ends with a surprise. This is not a horror story. It's a strange and surprising little tale about a visit to an insane asylum. The narrator, traveling through the french countryside, decides to stop at a well known private "mad house". He has heard from his medical friends in Paris that this hospital uses a new technique to care for its patients.

The cast of characters that Poe invents for this story is wonderful. The narrator of this story tells you his "perfect" plan to kill an old man, then takes you through the process of doing it. He might get away with it too except he starts hearing things For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down.

He was still sitting up in the bed listening; just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall. The narrator of this story, who calls himself William Wilson, describes the events of his early life in school and the rivalry between himself and another person named William Wilson.
As the story progresses, we learn of many similarities between the two Wilsons. Are they twin brothers? Copyright Design Inc. Site Built by. Story Summaries The following brief summaries are designed to quickly give readers an idea of what each story is about. Before the audience stands a man who can't use his eyes but can see the truth Teiresias. This person warns that both blindness and understanding will soon come upon a man who has vision but who can't see the truth Oedipus.
It appears in full force again in another of Sophocles' plays, Antigone.

In this drama, Oedipus accuses Creon of complicity with Teiresias, both of them working together to make the public believe Oedipus deserves blame for inciting the plague. Always in Sophocles, the character condemning religion proves in the end to be wrong. Note the irony when Oedipus says: "And you are wrong if you believe that one, a criminal, will not be punished only because he is my kinsman" The criminal is, of course, a kinsman of Oedipus, the closest kin a man can have, himself.
In answering Oedipus' charges, Creon uses a type of argument popular in Athenian law courts, the "argument from likelihood. We would say that Creon has no motive to hurt Oedipus.
Of course, he neglects to mention that he would inherit the throne of Thebes if Oedipus were forced out, as in fact he does at the end of the play. When she first enters , she scolds Oedipus like a child and orders Creon and her husband inside the house as if she were sending both to their rooms. That is, Oedipus' interaction with his wife resembles a mother-son relationship—which, of course, it is. But Sophocles has saved his best irony for later in the Oedipus-Jocasta scene. After Oedipus complains that Creon has plotted with Teiresias to spread lies and accuse him of murdering Laius—out of deference to his wife, he doesn't mention the charge of incest—Jocasta tells him to discount prophets and their babbling ff.
She cites as an example an oracle which came long ago to her first husband Laius, that he would die one day at the hands of his own son, but as far as anyone knows, robbers killed the former king. She then adds that the son she bore was exposed on Cithaeron where presumably he died. It's a brilliant way to introduce this crucial piece of information. By mentioning the exposure and death of her baby—the child whom the audience knows is Oedipus, the man standing in front of her—Jocasta intends to discredit prophesy and oracles in general.
Instead, her words confirm it in the most terrible way imaginable. It's also worth stopping for a moment and noting that none of what's happened to Oedipus would have taken place if this oracle had never come, the one that warned Laius and Jocasta about their unborn child. He wouldn't have been exposed as a baby, nor would he have been raised in Corinth.

Truly a self-fulfilling prophesy, it leaves us with the unavoidable impression that the gods are incalculably cruel, punishing mortals for merely seeking their assistance. It's hard to imagine a darker and more gruesome comment on the hopelessness of the human condition. Apparently never before having heard from his wife about this oracle and the exposed baby—and isn't that a little odd, given that they've lived together as man and wife for so long? He questions Jocasta about what exactly happened: where did the murder take place?
Jocasta says that only one person survived the scene of the murder and, when he returned and saw Oedipus on the throne, he asked to be sent away as a shepherd.
