<span>"The Black Cat" is actually a short story that was written by the author Edgar Allan Poe. This story is related to the psychology of guilt and therefore, the tone that he uses the word "succumbed" here is Annoyance. The answer to this would be the first option. hope this helps.</span>
I did play for theater and I roughly remember the plot but Ichabod Crane was made fun of often and looked on by others as “weird”. He was a school teacher trying to impress a pretty woman in the town. He was very afraid although he acted tough. He was merely afraid of his own footsteps at times. I think mostly explaining his character is good because that it basically the beginning plot haha
