Harriet Beecher Stowe is the person who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, in 1852. At the time it was published, it was either loved (usually by black people) or hated (by slave owners) because it was an anti-slavery book which portrayed a black slave as the humane person, and a white man as an evil person.
Answer and Explanation:
Although "the black cat", like all of Poe's works, is a great example of Gothic literature, we can find some misunderstandings or inaccuracies that may give the wrong impression about this genre of literature.
One of these misunderstandings is the fact that Gothic literature deals only with mental and personal problems of the protagonists. That's because in Poe's work, the protagonist's problems and discomforts are totally related to his mental imbalance, but Gothic literature can open up external problems, which are not, in fact, caused by psychological problems or imbalances of the characters.
Another misunderstanding is predictability. In Poe's work, horror is a strong element, but suspense is a weak element since we know that the character will decay more and more with the passage of the narrative, which weakens the suspense and can generalize it.
I would say that the way nature produces things, much like how a woman grows a baby with her own body. For example: fruit on trees, etc. I hope this helps you a bit!
