Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his crue

lty?
“…I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched.”

“I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.“

“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.”

“Although I thus readily accounted to my reason, if not altogether to my conscience, for the startling fact just detailed, it did not the less fail to make a deep impression upon my fancy.”

Answer:

The quotation from <em>The Black Cat</em> that best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his cruelty is <u>the third one</u>: <em>“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.” </em>

Explanation:

By reading these lines we can understand how <u>the speaker in conscious about the wrong he has done.</u> He knew what he was doing and knew that was wrong and did it anyways. <u>He knew it was a sin</u>, and a big one. So big that it was "<em>beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God</em>". This means that <em>he knew he deserved a punishment from God</em> that, even with His infinite mercy, wouldn't be able to forgive what he had done.
