The Cask Of Amontillado By Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe has a very distinct writing style and you can find similarities from text to text. An example of this is the way the main characters hide their victim's bodies.

In “The Black Cat” the narrator choose “to wall it up in the cellar, as the monks of the Middle Ages are recorded to have walled up their victims”(Poe,1843). Last in “Tell Tale Heart” the narrator malevolently dismembered the body of his victim and placed the part beneath the floorboards.
