The Pit and The Pendulum by: Edgar Allen Poe “The Pit and The Pendulum” is a story about a man who was sentenced to torture, in the city of Toledo. In the beginning, the man is strapped to a wooden plank, surrounded by a bunch of men in black robes. He then closes his eyes and wakes up to a dark room with no one else there. He tries to size the perimeter of the room to no avail, then decides to check the middle of this dark room. This is when he trips, and almost slips in what appears to be a pit in the center of the ground. He then passes out, and wakes up tied to a wooden board with a swinging pendulum above him. As the pendulum gets closer, nearing the man’s heart, he finds a way to escape the board. He then notices the walls
