Question

The Ourang-Outang represents one kind of outsider to the society of Paris. What other examples of outsiders do we find in this story? Are some kinds of "foreignness" more acceptable than others, and how can we tell?

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

In the story called "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe, we find, as stated in the task, that the ourang-outang represents one kind of outsider to the society of Paris. But looking deeply into the lines of the story, we can also think that the hero, the detective called Dupin, is himself another kind of outsider. That's due to his kind of personality: a very cold cand calculating person, nearly emotionless.
