Answer:

The supernatural elements that can be found in the short story of "The Black Cat" are:

  1. The name of the cat 'Pluto' which in Greek mythology is concerned with the god of the underworld and in Latin, the god of the dead.
  2. The 'Black' color of the cat which is usually connected with witchcraft.

Explanation:

The Black Cat is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe has added some element of supernatural in the story related to the 'Black Cat'.

  1. The first element of supernatural force that can be found in the story is the <u>'Black' color of the cat,</u> which the narrator's wife connected with witchcraft. Superstitiously people connect 'Black' color with evil and witchcraft. Poe has used this element in his story.
  2. The second element that Poe has used in this story is the <u>name given to the cat, 'Pluto'.</u> In Greek mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld and in Latin mythology, the god of the dead is named Pluto.

The fate of the narrator was the result of his behavior and alcoholism. The foreshadowing of his fate can be found in the incident when he cut the eyes of the Pluto in his drunken state and then he hanged Pluto.

This <u>horror could have been avoided</u> if only the narrator would have realized the evil which has entered his heart through alcohol. Because the crimes which he has committed were in his drunken state. This evil overpowered him.

What indications are given that gollum was not always as he presently appears to bilbo?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Bilbo regains consciousness in pitch black. Crawling along the tunnel, he picks up a metal ring, “almost without thinking.” Taking comfort from the discovery that his little sword is also an elvish blade that shines when goblins are near, he starts walking down the tunnel but stops when he walks into cold water.

When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips onto his finger. Gollum runs past, and Bilbo follows Gollum to the “back door.” There Gollum stops, smelling many goblins, and blocks the passage. Eventually, he senses Bilbo and readies himself to spring. Bilbo briefly contemplates killing him, but a “sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s heart,” and he jumps over Gollum instead.

Bilbo runs to the door and is seen by the goblins because the ring has slipped off his finger. He puts it back on, dodges goblins, and eventually squeezes through the door, leaving “his nice brass buttons” all over the doorstep.
