Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. In “The Pit and the Pendulum,” the narrator explains,

"The intensity of the darkness seemed to oppress and stifle me." Why does Poe include this description of the narrator's feelings about the darkness?
By having the narrator describe the darkness as a force that has a physical impact on him, Poe helps create a claustrophobic mood and a sense of the narrator's great fear and discomfort.

By having the narrator focus on his own feelings of being oppressed and stifled, Poe establishes the idea that the real danger that the narrator faces exists only in the narrator's mind.

By having the narrator focus on the intensity of the darkness, Poe effectively directs the attention of readers away from the dangers that lurk within that darkness and lays the groundwork for the story's surprise ending.

By having the narrator describe how something as ordinary as darkness bothers him, Poe is able to establish the narrator as an unreliable figure who is prone to exaggerations and lies.

Answer:

Art therapy is the use of art for therapeutic purposes, such as anxiety and stress relief. You can use art therapy to help you better understand and express difficult feelings that you may not be able to put into words, according to the theory of art therapy.

When you put pencil to paper, you are giving yourself the opportunity to get some distance from unwanted, and often uncontrollable, thoughts while also engaging in an activity that you can direct. You are in charge of what you draw and how many colors you use. You are not focusing on your anxiety while creating.

<em>I hope this helps you</em>
