Black Cat Response

I was addicted to Edgar Allan Poe's fantastic world spontaneously when I read his fictions. Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809. He has many literary classics such as “The Tell-Tale Heart”. His short stories mainly focus on murder, bloody violence, and even supernatural events. The Black Cat is a short story and there were four main characters including the man, his wife, and two black cats. This story is about the man is a murder who kill the first cat and his wife. He had a large, beautiful and black cat and Pluto was the cat's name. One night, he deliberately cut the black cat's eyes under the influence of alcohol. Afterwards, he slipped a noose about cat's neck and hung it to the limb of a tree. Then later, he purchased and adopted …show more content…
However, after a period of time, the character of the mark of white hair of the second black cat gradually grew into a gallows shape.

He was always haunting in the bar and was intoxicated, which shows that his life is aimless and disorderly. Consequently, he was under the control of alcohol. The external environment is essential for personal development, but it is not all. In the story, he blamed them on the alcohol and others whenever the man did evil things. From my view, this was just an excuse to avoid the responsibility. People cannot give way to the madness, on the contrary, you can have strong will to overcome it.

Also, he was angry and violent to the cat and felt troublesome because the cat was close to the man. When you have such complex psychology, the most useful and effective way is to talk with your relatives and friends. We should not bury deeply them in the
