The essay should show your understanding of Poe's texts. For that reason, it must be written by you and I will show you how to do it.

<h3>Structure of an essay:</h3>
  • Introduction: Write a short paragraph where you introduce the two stories written by Poe and highlight how horror and dark narrative are highlighted in these stories.

  • Body: You must write three paragraphs. These paragraphs should be long, as they will be the ones where you will expose your interpretation of the stories. In the first paragraph, you should show how the use of an unreliable narrator and dramatic irony is successful in Poe's stories. In the second paragraph, you will show how these elements are established in "The Tell-Tale Heart" and in the third paragraph you will show how these same elements are established in "The Cask of Amontillado."

  • Conclusion: You will write a short paragraph, showing how the unreliable narrator and dramatic irony are used by Poe effectively, engaging the reader and characterizing Poe's writing.

You must understand that Poe manages to present an unreliable narrator, showing a narrator with signs of insanity and madness. This can be seen in the two stories, where the narrator's state of mind shows that we should not believe what he says because he is not thinking clearly.

Dramatic irony is shown when Poe lets the reader know something in the story that its characters don't. In "The Tell-Tale Heart" we can see this when we know the narrator will kill the old man he works with, but the old man doesn't know it.

The same happens in "The Cask of Amontillado" where the reader knows that the narrator will kill his neighbor, but the neighbor goes to visit him without knowing it.

A small example of how you can write your introduction can be seen below:

<em>"The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado" are two of the most iconic stories written by Edgar Alan Poe. In these stories, we can identify how insanity and horror can move human actions and reactions and cause frightening results.</em>
