Pendulum

It is a contradiction for a murderer to create a motive rather than finding reasons, blame, and intentions to end someone’s life. Several Edgar Allan Poe short stories such as, “The Tell Tale Heart”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, and “The Pit and the Pendulum” do pertain a person killing another individual in unclear narrative. Edgar Allen Poe mastered the art of creating perplexing, dark short stories, by using his twisted mind. Plus, pulls out his own nightmares and gruesome thoughts to create…

wakes up and they do not know what is going to happen, but at the end of each day they have written a story about that day and what has happened. The English III classes read “The Minister’s Black Veil” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe; these stories were written during the Dark Romanticism period. These stories were both on the dark side which leads the characters to do somethings that were a little unusual and they are not sure how everything is going to…

However, Galileo was someone who provided the world with one such idea. For example, the Pendulum clock. Not only did Galileo impact how we see time, but he also changed how we see outer space. His theory along with copernicus's was called the heliocentric theory, it was that the sun was in the center of the universe and that we rotate around…

of his works, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Pit and the Pendulum”, are perfect examples of gothic literature.

Throughout this whole quarter, I would say that I have learned a lot in this class.

One of the learning outcomes of this course is that each students should be able to describe,…

romanticism thrived. A prime example of this type of writing can be found in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum. In one of Poe’s most frightening tales, the narrator, who has been sent to death by the Spanish Inquisition, narrowly escapes his demise multiple times. Through its exploitation of themes such as the negative side of human nature and madness, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum can be considered an example of dark romanticism. Transcendentalist writers, who were…

these methods fall under a category that can be deemed as the use of imagery. Edgar Allan Poe has been acclaimed for his exceptional word choice and his successful use of imagery to enhance his works. Both “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Pit and the Pendulum” effectively demonstrate two distinct methods by which Poe has managed to achieve vivid impressions.

and outcomes. When comparing “The Pit and the Pendulum” to other Poe stories such as “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Black Cat”, it is easy to see why he is revered as “The Father of Horror.” But what makes his writing so extraordinary is that he uses attributes that are very specific to only Edgar Allan Poe’s horror stories. One main attribute of Poe’s work is his remarkable use of gothic elements, such as grotesqueness. “The Pit and the Pendulum” demonstrates a sense of grotesqueness…

at rest stays in that state unless compelled to change its state by an outside force. The egg stays at rest until the pendulum hits the box, sending the box as well as the rubber exercise band and egg inside of it in motion. The egg goes with the momentum of the rubber band, the rubber band goes with the momentum of the box, and the box goes with the momentum of the swinging pendulum. I built my device to endure an inelastic collision, which is when two bodies collide and one or more object is…

writer. In the Fall of the House of Usher Poe is obviously not yet adept at writing in Gothic style. But in one of his next works The Pit and the Pendulum Poe hits the Gothic mark quite nicely. Edgar A. Poe was indeed a Gothic writer pioneer, many of his works have lasted to present day. The stories of Fall of the House of Usher and The Pit and the Pendulum are two of Poes most striking Gothic Writings. In the fall of the House of Usher Poe gives three main characters: Roderick Usher, Madeline…
