Edgar Allen Poe's short story of "The Black Cat" tells the story of how the narrator and our protagonist came to be in prison. This story details the recollected tales of what led to the present situation.
The story is told from the first person narrative voice. The narrator is also omniscient and told from his perspective, with the narration full of his own feelings and opinions but not that of the other characters. This subjective nature of the direct characterization of the narrator of himself also poses a question on the sense of authenticity and accuracy of the story that has been told. Poe's use of the internal first- person point of view makes us the readers question the accuracy of the narrator's accounts of the events.
