Guesses is the plural form
I would...be the goddess of pain and suffering. Although that sounds negative, I could actually clear up a lot of junk in the world when you think about it. If I eliminated the pain of those that don't deserve it, or fix a certain life problem for someone, or a whole group of people, I could fix so much in the world. (That's just one idea, lol I can send you other ones or add more detail to this one if you'd want)
Answer:
because misfit told the grandmother that he was punished for a crime he did not remember, and the lesson he took with it. and to misfit any crime that is committed no matter how big or small the punishment will be the same
The 16th century, to be exact 1620.
The narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", by deciding to plea "not guilty due to insanity", is doing something many people charged with murder do: blaming their own acts on a certain "demonic" mindset, which can be caused by evil spirits or even drugs (legal or illegal). The narrator has a history of alcohol abuse, which, according to his own testimony throughout the short story, led him to cut one of his cat's eyes out of its socket. He'd also been violent to his wife, not only verbally, and said he'd committed violent acts precisely because of their malignant essence. This man is no good. Therefore, there's no point in validating his plea of "not guilty due to insanity" and he should indeed be charged with murder. After all, he killed his wife with the strike of an axe upon her head, just because she wanted to stop him from killing their cat. As the narrator admits, he was then possessed by unstoppable anger, and that's not a reason for claiming to have done anything due to insanity at all.
