The Analysis of The Black CatThe novel begins with the hero tell readers his sins in order to free his soul from crimes. Although some people think his experience is just some ordinary things, for him, which led to his soul in bondage.The novel tells the story in the first person point of view. The first person can make the reader have sense of substitution and readers are more likely to experience feelings and emotions that the author wants to express. The text does not contain any ghosts. But in describing the inner demons, it makes people shiver all over though not cold. "The black cat" in Allan Poe' s novels has unique Gothic romance. Allan Poe uses exquisite writing to describe conflict within characters and gives people a strong sense of tension.The hero was a gentle and kind people and likes small animal. This kind of character makes him welcomed by small animals, therefore also met his wife. He has been living a very happy life, until his drinking makes temper change. The hero become irritable, and began to torture small animal, the animal were far away from him. Until one day, he could not suppress his depression and anger, put out the cat Pluto's eyes. Although he later feels guilt, but because the cat is away from him, making his inner demons more expansive, more act recklessly and care for nobody. The hero is attracted by evil temptations, based on high obviously love black cat killed the cat. He believes that even God cannot forgive his sins. After he killed the cat, in the night, his house turned into ruins because of the fire. Except for the wall next to his bed, the wall is also left traces of cats. This makes him frightened. He explained the matter in variety of scientific knowledge. From this we can be know hero inner panic. He was tortured by his conscience and his heart also gradually cold. Because of grumpy mood his character also becomes distorted.Although he deliberately forget this thing, but his soul still remember. Later, he met a black cat as big as the black cat. He brings it home to court his wife. After a long time, he was sick of it, and began to avoid him. His inner demons again arise, because the eye of the cat was dredged up. At the same time, the white spot on the cat backgrew large. This strange phenomenon involved him in fear, tormented his soul. Until one day he was controlled by evil to kill his wife, and his wife was in the cellar wall. The cat disappeared. He is filled with them away and relaxed. His wife's death did not bring much change to him. The police searched his home, but did not find anything. Then the police are into the cellar, the hero's heart is calm. Even he feels happy for his acts. Thus, the hero has been occupied by the evil heart, without fear of crime. Later, the hero beats the wall and hears strange noises. Then the police pushed down the wall and his dead wife was exposed. In the mean time, the cat was sitting on top of his wife head. The story ends with the cat's revenge. Although black revenge hero in strange ways, but it also reflects the characteristics of Allan Poe's writing.This novel is full of dark color, although the hero crime is not very complicated. In my opinion, second black cat is the incarnation of the previous black cat. The hero is evil while the black cat is the messenger who punishes the evil. The death of the black cat and appearance of second black cat torment the soul. When he thinks he is free, he was exposed as a sin and received revenge from a cat. This shows that no matter what time, the man of sin will be punished.Poe put much symbolism means in the story like his other novel. For one thing is the black cat. As Poe penned in this story, “---to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise.” The protagonist’s wife at heart was not a little tinctured with superstition. Maybe black cat will bring misfortune and bad luck. Both of the two cats under Poe’s pen, the protagonist loved and then killed, were black. For another thing is the name of cats. Pluto, this is the Roman god of the underworld. So what the black cat impressed reader most is hell, demon, wretches, something can be regarded as a deity with some magic power. The strangest symbol of the black cat is the GALLOWS on its breast. The GALLOWS can date back to a cruel torture which was popular in ancient. It was used to carry out the punishment. Gothic fictions always create a horrible atmosphere by house events, ominous things and despot figures; and then to explore the deep meanings in the real life, for instance, to uncover the evil reality, to analyze humanity, etc. Allen Poe’ s story The Black Cat mainly told the horrible events happened between a despot and a black cat.Allen Poe was successful to figure out that the rational origin was from the soul. The most typical Gothic features in The Black Cat were to create a horrible atmosphere by a series of ominous events, otherwise, the Gothic style factors revenge and curse also used in the story very successfully. The thesis mainly analyzes the Gothic features in this story The Black Cat: it analyzes the Gothic style through the black cat description, the mental activity of the protagonist and the arrangement of the plots.This short story easily achieved the effect that Poe was looking for through the use of description of setting, symbolism, plot development, diverse word choice, and detailed character development, In most cases, the setting is usually indelible to a story, but The Black Cat relies little on this element. The terrified description of the scene, the symbolism with the black cat and the gallows, the psychological activity for the protagonist, the comparison between the kind of animals and the guilty protagonist, all of these, are so vivid and intellectual that bring readers into a world of magic. The meaning of this magic is in varies forms and it depends on personal understanding.孙美丽12301008胡倩玉12301065。
