Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows

.
I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me.

How does Poe portray the madness of the narrator in the passage above?

The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe and surrounds fear and death. Poe portrays the madness of the narrator through the lines, “By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is the idea of the story 'The Pit and the Pendulum ?'</h3>

The complete question is attached to the image below.

The Pit and the Pendulum is a story that reveals the topics of death and fear. The madness of the narrator is not so obvious at first and does seem sane at the beginning of the story.

But by the end of the narration, the readers can see that the narrator is getting insane and mad as can be seen by the lines that show not so great mental health of the narrator. He seemed to have been shocked and was trembling at his own voice.

Therefore, the narrator was getting mad as the story was coming to an end.

In CHRONOLOGICAL order, I (first) opened my eyes, (secondly) brushed my teeth (then) put on clothes.
