Question

Poe's story features a heavy use of dashes to create long cumbersome sentences as we hear the fragmentation of the narrator's thoughts in his voice. This technique, which probably distracted you a bit as you read the story, is done for a purpose. Why would Poe use the technique? (The Black Cat)

Answer 1

Answer:

To make it seem as though you are thinking these thoughts yourself.

Explanation:

Poe's purpose is to put you in the narrators place, to feel, think, and mentally experience what the narrator is experiencing.
