What are some similarities between all the Gothic Literature stories we've read so far? Again, be specific and use details in your response.
1. I think the protagonist for "The Black Cat" is the narrator because he is the one who is feeling repressed emotions from the antagoinst in the story. Also because he was the one who had to face a "problem" in the story. As for the antagonist, I believe it is the second cat because it was the reason as to why the narrator was feeling so much repressed emotions(anger, bitterness, guilt, and disgust.) " " It was a black cat-a very large one-fully as large as Pluto(the first black cat in the story), and closely resembling him in every respect but one...For my own part, I soon found a dislike to it arising within me. This was just the reverse of what I had anticipated; but I know not how or why it was-its evident foundness for myself rather disgusted and annoyed...I avoided the creature; a certain sense of shame, and the remembrance of my former deed of cruelty..."(pages sixty six to sixty seven, paragraphs fourteen-seventeen.)
ReplyDelete2. My favorite gothic literature so far is "The Black Cat" because it is filled with a lot of suspense and makes me feel as though in a way the characters seem so relistic(as well as the plot in the story.) As if there is a lot of human nature going on in relationships(friendship/love like relationships.) " Pluto-this was the cat's name-was my favorite pet and playmate. I alone fed him...Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character...experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others."(page 64, paragraphs five-six.)
3. Some similarities between all the Gothic Literature stories we've read so far are the antagonists are not all human(unless if the Red Death is actually counted as a person according to the film version of "The Masque of the Red Death), the protagonists each "learn" something from their antagonists, and in the end the villains all triumpheted. " For one instant the party upon the stairs remained motionless, through extremity of terror and of awe...It fell bodily. The corpse...Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder..."(page seventy, last paragraph of "The Black Cat." ) Also, " 'Tremble also at each other! Have men avoided me, and women shown no pity, and children screamed and fled, only for my black veil...I look around me, and, lo! on every visage a Black Veil!' "(page fifteen, second to last paragraph of "The Minister's Black Veil.") " 'Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the Raven ' Nevermore.' And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting...On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door..."(page 756, stanza eighteen of "The Raven.")" No doubt I now grew 'very' pale;-but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased...' Villains!' I shrieked, ' dissemble no more! I admist the deed...it is the beating of his hideous heart!'"(page 124, second to last paragraph of "Tell Tale Heart.") " It was then, however, that the Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers...He bore aloft a drawn dagger...There was a sharp cry-and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero."(page 260, second to last paragraph of "The Masque of the Red Death.") (Athena Baker. First comment.)
1. I still believe that the protagonist in "The Black Cat" is the narrator because he was the one who had a lot of involvement in the story. Also, he was the one who had caused the death of his first cat, Pluto and created the "black luck" he himself had to suffer through. As for the antagonist, it is the alcohol because although it did not really have a main part in the story, it was still the reason as to why the protagonist killed Pluto and "help" as to create all the "bad luck" that has been happening to himself. " But my disease grew upon me-for what disease is like Alcohol!-and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming old, and consequently somewhat peevish-even Pluto began to experience the effects of my ill temper."(page sixty four, paragraph six.)
ReplyDelete2. My favorite gothic literature is "the Raven" because there is some suspense in it, it is almost very easy to understand, and it has a very effective rhythem to it which makes people want to read more and see what happens in the poem. " But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only that one word...Nothing farther then he uttered-not a feather then he fluttered. Till I scarcely more than muttered 'Other friends have flown before-on the morrow 'he' will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said ' Nevermore.'"(page 755, stanza ten.)
3. Some similarities between all the gothic literatures I have read so far are all of them contain some sort of suspense, the protagonists are lead to their demisses, and there is a certain talk of darkness in setting and inner feelings of the characters in the stories/poem. "Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;-vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow...Nameless 'here' for evermore."(page 754, stanza two of "The Raven.") "On the night of the day on which this cruel deed was done, I was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire...The destruction was complete. My entire worldly wealth was swallowed up, and I resigned my-self thenceforward to dispair."(page sixty five, paragraph ten of "The Black Cat.") " The sexton stood in the porch of Milford meeting-house, pulling busily at the bell-rope...The cause of so much amazement may appear sufficiently slight. Mr. Hooper...had on a black veil...With this gloomy shade before him, good Mr. Hooper walked onward, at a slow and quiet pace..."(page five, paragraphs one-six of "The Minister's Black Veil." ) "Upon the eighth night I was more than usually cautious in opening the door...His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness...and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door..."(page 122, paragraph four of "Tell Tale Heart.") " There was no light of any kind emanating from lamp or candle within the suite of chambers...But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in extreme..."(pages 257-258, paragraph four of "The Masque of the Red Death.")(Athena Baker, second time.)

ReplyDeleteAbove link is a picture of alcohol. In the story, " The Black Cat", the protagonist(the narrator) gets drunk from drinking too much alcohol and ends up murdering his first cat, Pluto. As a result, his house caught on and he ended up getting himself into more trouble when he meets the second cat(who turns out to be Pluto back from the dead.) The alcohol is believed to be the main antagonist in the story.

ReplyDeleteAbove link is a picture of a cat with a red eye. At the end of the story when the police opened up the wall in the ruins of the protagonist's home, in the wall was not only the corpse of the narrator's beloved wife, but also the second cat who turned out to be the devil or Pluto back from the dead.

The second link above is a picture of what the second cat must've looked liked when the narrator met him. The second cat in the story is believed to be Pluto risen from the dead. The white spot on its chest represents rebirth.

ReplyDeleteDiscuss who could be the protagonist and antagonist in The Black Cat; explain your logic and reasoning for why? Please remember to use details and specifics from the story to support your response.
I think the protagonist is the man(Poe) in the Black Cat. I believe this because the cat tortures the old man because not because of the way the cat started out but because of the deed the man committed by murdering the cat. The reason he murdered the cat is because he was drunk, so the man used alcohol to repress his emotions, but when he did he lost all central control of himself. He became a bad person and killed his cat and tortured everyone around him. When he found a new cat, he was tortured by this cat because the cat was so loving and the man began to hate the cat with a passion, but hated himself for killing his previous cat. The cat almost tripped him because the cat was loving on him, so the man killed his cat and his wife because she stepped in his way.
What Gothic Literature that we've read so far is your favorite, explain why? (The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death, The Minister's Black Veil, or The Black Cat)
My favorite Gothic Literature that we have read so far has probably been the Raven. We went into a deep discussion and the annotation of the Raven was endless. There were multiple opinions that could have all been right, and unlike some of the others there were really only one. Though, i liked them all I really enjoyed "The Raven."

Some similarities between all of the Gothic literature we've read it that there are one protagonists and one antagonist that tortures the readers to the point of committing a bad deed, and most of all. ALL THE COMMITTERS ARE TURNED BY THE WORK OF THEIR OWN HAND. Also most of the setting really work to the feelings of the protagonist, so you can really get into what they are feeling before they commit their awful deed.
1. (Quote to continue my response to question one.)" But my disease grew upon me-for what disease is like Alcohol!-and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming old, and consequently somewhat peevish-even Pluto began to experience the effects of my ill temper."(page sixty four, paragraph six.) (Athena Baker.)
ReplyDelete1. I think the protagonist is the narrator because he is the one who is feeling a lot of repressed emotions from the antagonist. Also, he was the one who was lead to his demise in the story."Yet, mad am I not-and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die and to-day I would unburden my soul."(Page sixty three, paragraph one.) The antagonist in the story is the alcohol because it was the cause as to what leads the protagonist to his demise. It also "took control" of the protagonist and turned him into a whole new different person (in a terrible way.)"One night, returning home, much intoxicated, from one of my haunts about town, I fancied that the cat avoided my presence. I seized him; when, in his fright at my violence, he inflicted a slight wound upon my hand with his teeth. The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer."(page sixty four, paragraph seven.)
ReplyDelete2. My favorite gothic literature is "The Black Cat" because it has a lot of suspense. It also has characters that can be easily related in a way (the "love" relationship between Pluto and the narrator and how their relationship soon came to a crash.)" Pluto-this was the cat's name-was my favorite pet and playmate. I alone fed him...Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character...experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others."(page 64, paragraphs five-six.)There is also good imagery and a very shocking ending. “It fell bodily. The corpse, already greatly decayed...Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast...I had walled the monster up within the tomb!"(page seventy, last paragraph.) These elements, which I think, make a good, shocking story to be told (especially around Halloween time.)
3. The similarities between all the gothic literature stories I have read so far are the protagonists are lead to their demises (the protagonists happen to the narrators in "Tell Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", and "The Raven", the members of the church in "The Minister's Black Veil", and Prince Prospero in "The Masque of the Red Death.")Also, the protagonists are all isolated voluntary (well some are isolated involuntary as well. For example, the narrator from "The Raven" when he lost his love, Lenore.)Also, the plots mirror the ruined world in their dealings with the protagonists' fall from grace as the protagonists succumb to the temptations of their villains. In a way, in all four of these pieces of literature, each of the protagonists “learn something" towards the end of their demises. (Athena Baker. Third time. Part one.)

1. (continuation.) In other words, the alcohol lead the narrator into killing his cat, Pluto which helped cause the fire burning on his home. (Athena Baker.)
ReplyDelete(Alex Aldrich)
ReplyDeleteI think that the protagonist in the narrator because in the beginning he is in jail and he is on death row because he got caught for killing his wife while he was in is drunken state. He says in the story in their consequences, these events have terrified- have tortured- have destroyed me. He feels bad for what he has done and he regrets the events that happened while he was drunk. I think that the antagonist could be the alcohol because it makes the man do crazy things like killing his wife and his first cat. It says in the story but my disease grew upon me- for what disease is like alcohol. It also says one night, returning home, much intoxicated, from one of my haunts about town. … I again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the dead. He becomes a different person when he is drunk because the alcohol makes you crazy.

In a way, this reminds me of how good friends were friends at first, until one day they start to fall apart. As for the suspense, the sentence, “ for several years, during which my general temperament and character…experienced a radical alteration for the worse” added some chills to the story and gets me wondering what is it that will happen next in the story. There is also good imagery and a very shocking ending in the story. “It fell bodily. The corpse, already greatly decayed...Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast...I had walled the monster up within the tomb!"(page seventy, last paragraph.) The words “greatly decayed”, “red extended mouth” and “eye of fire” gave this last paragraph a feeling of horror and it made me visualize a monster/zombie coming out from the dead. To me, a good horror story deals with these elements (therefore, making this story a perfect scare for Halloween.)(Athena Baker.) (fourth time for fixing.)
ReplyDelete1. Discuss who could be the protagonist and antagonist in The Black Cat; explain your logic and reasoning for why? Please remember to use details and specifics from the story to support your response.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the protagonist is the narrator; he struggles throughout the entire story, carries out a terrible deed, and in the end meets his demise. I also think the Black cat is the antagonist, I say that singularly because I believe that the first black cat (Pluto) and the second black cat with the white spot are the same animal. The cat is the character in the story that, literally, leads the protagonist to his downfall. “The corpse, already greatly decayed and clotted with gore, stood erect before the eyes of the spectators. Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.”(Page 70, paragraph 1) The cat is described as having the features of the devil (red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire) and a characteristic of an antagonist in gothic literature is the he/she/it is the epitome of evil. Another thing hinting at the fact that the cat is the epitome of evil is his name (Pluto). The name Pluto is generally associated with the Roman god of the underworld and of the dead. The cat also is what tortures the narrator constantly in the story.
2. What Gothic Literature that we've read so far is your favorite, explain why?
My favorite is story is the Masque of the red death. I like stories that have a lot of symbolism in them and require a lot of analysis to uncover what is happening. I also like twisted endings, for example in Masque of the Red Death, I don’t think anybody expected that the man under the mask to be prince Prospero, I myself was expecting the red death to be an actual disease.
3. What are some similarities between all the Gothic Literature stories we've read so far? Again, be specific and use details in your response.
In all of the stories we’ve read so far, the most obvious similarity to me is that the setting is very symbolic of the protagonist’s repressed emotions. For example in The Raven, the protagonist is in a cold room filled with books by himself at night. This was symbolic of the depression he was feeling and the fact that he wanted to escape the real world and be isolated. Another similarity I noticed is that the stories are often associated with death/the devil and end up with the protagonist falling to his demise, usually because of something he/she did. The stories are also very descriptive when something important is happening and are very well planned out. For example in The Black Cat after the narrator kills his wife he disassembles the walls and traps her corps inside, this also happens in Tell-Tale Heart. Any other person would have just thought of something simple, such as throwing the body in a lake or burying it.

ReplyDeleteI still think that the narrator is the protagonist and that the black cat is the antagonist. My reasoning for thinking that the narrator is the protagonist is that he opens the story by telling us what he has done that causes him to be in jail and to be hung the next day, “But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plain, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events”(page 63 paragraph 1). Another reason I think he is the protagonist is that, throughout the whole story is tortured by the presence of the black cat. He is also the one the story is based around and he falls to his demise in the end. I think the antagonist is the black cat (I think both cats are one animal) because it leads him to his downfall. Some argue that the alcohol is the antagonist, but I think that since the cat aggravated him so much, this was the reasoning for his abuse of alcohol. A characteristic of an antagonist in gothic literature is that the antagonist the epitome of evil, and the black cat is literally described having features of the devil, “Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.”(Page 70, paragraph 1). Another big hint that the cat is the epitome of evil is that his name is Pluto, which is also the name for the Roman god of the underworld and death. This quote also shows that the cat was the one who gave him away to the police. Also ironically, after the narrator hangs the first cat, he is then sentenced to be hung, so maybe the cat could be a representation of himself.
2.
My favorite story is still Masque of the Read death. I liked it the most because of how well thought out the story was and how creative it was. I thought that each room represented a stage of life, it was very unique and it stood out to me a lot. I also enjoy stories where the reader is forced to kind of guess what has happened and take some time to think about the whole story to fully understand it.
3.
What I noticed in the last few gothic stories that we read is that there is a lot of gore in them. Also suspense is a big factor in these stories, the author usually forces the reader to have to think and make assumptions about what is happening. Also the protagonist is a little off, meaning he/she has a problem they have to face throughout the story, for example the man in Tell-Tale Heart couldn’t stop thinking about the eye and how it tortures him. The protagonist is also often tortured by something in the story.

ReplyDeleteAfter class discussion and looking from different points of view, I still conclude that the protagonist is the narrator and the antagonist is the black cat (they are both one animal). I think that they are the same animal because they both had the same eye missing; the only thing different is that the new cat has a white spot, which could represent that he was reborn from the ashes. I think the narrator is the protagonist because in the opening of the story he is retelling what happened and confessing the reason that he is going to be hung the next day. He is also tortured throughout the story and at the end meets his demise. I also believe that the black cat is the antagonist. I say this because the cat is what literally leads the protagonist to his downfall and tortures the protagonist in the story. Antagonists in gothic literature are often described as being the epitome of evil, and this is exactly what the cat was described as in this story, “Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.”(Page 70, paragraph 1). Another big giveaway that the cat is the epitome of evil is its name, Pluto. The name Pluto is often associated with the ancient Roman god of the under world and death. Another thing I find interesting is that the cat’s shadow could be seen on the house after it burned down, “I approached and saw, as if graven is bas relief upon the white surface, the figure of a gigantic cat. The impression was given with an accuracy truly marvelous. There was a rope about the animal’s neck”(page 65 & 66 paragraph’s 3 & 1). Another interesting thing is that the narrator hangs the cat and then ironically is sentenced to be hung, “ Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.”(Page 70 paragraph 2). It’s also ironic that the narrator loved the cat so much in the beginning, but named it Pluto. I think that the cat was symbolic of the narrators repressed feelings, which maybe could have been that he his evil.
2.
My new favorite story is The Cask of Amontillado, because I have recently just read it and am still trying to figure out what has happened in the story. I liked how the author spent so much time describing the setting, because I know that it somehow has something to do with what happens in the end and could be symbolic of what the characters in the story are feeling. I also liked how Poe chooses names for his stories, because you don’t get what the meaning of the title is until you completely understand the story.
3.
A similarity that is common in Gothic literature is foreshadowing, for example when the narrator in The Black Cat hangs the cat, he is hung later in the story. Also death often occurs during the course of a story and it’s usually very gory. Another thing I have noticed in all of these stories is suspense; this seems to be the most common device used in Gothic literature, because after reading a story you always have to think

ReplyDeletei really did not like any of the short stories that we read because they were all so dark and sad. but if i had ot choose one of them i owuld choose The Minister's Black Veil. i liked this one because it had a good lesson in it. the lesson that it is trying to show is that everyone has a "black veil" over there face, because we all have things that we dont want other people to know about.
(Alex Aldrich)
ReplyDeleteAll the short stories that we have read all have to deal with death and very dark things. In all the stories someone or something has died by the end of the story. Some of these things include the minister from the minister's black veil, the old man in The tell-tale heart,the Prince in The masque of the red death,lenore form the Raven, the first black cat and the wife from the Black Cat.

I think the antagonist is the second cat because he is a spawn of satan because he is named pluto, like the god of the underworld in old time english. "Pluto-this was the cat's name- was my favorite pet." (pg.64) As soon as he got the new cat it began to torture him and made him only think about one thing, and that was to kill the cat. "Evil thoughts became my sole- intimates- the darkest and most evil of thoughts" (pg.68)the cat eventually led to his demise. "I had walled the monster up within the tomb" (pg.70)
