Theme in Edgar Allen Poe The Premature Burial.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am thinking it is something like We should always be careful and double check things? Or the theme is being buried alive? I have a lot of trouble with finding the theme of things...

I also need to find another story with the same theme.

theme of being buried alive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In Edgar Allen Poe's The Premature Burial, I would say the theme is being buried alive. His view of fear in the story is explained as going through mental and bodily distress. If you still need to find another story, you should try another work of Poe's called The Pit and the Pendulum, since it explores the nature of fear like The Premature Burial.
