Question

What effect does a first-person narrator have on the reader in the short story “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe

Answer 1

Answer:

The important point in this type of narrative is that narrator tells the story from his/her perspective, which is actually the main subject that I am going to study with the help of “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe. The first-person narration is one of the strongest tools for creating suspense in the narrative.

Answer 2

In “The Black Cat,” Poe created a narrator who lacks remorse, empathy, and a conscience, a character who deceives and manipulates those around him because of an impulsive, egocentric personality known as psychopathy.

Also

The narrator has major issues. This unnamed character is an abusive bully and a murderer. He made home a living hell for his wife, pets, and himself. He's writing to us from his prison cell, on the eve of his scheduled death by hanging.
