Im not really sure how to explain it...... How does Poe view fear in his story "The Premature Burial"? State the theme in one sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It may be asserted, without hesitation, that no event is so terribly well adapted to inspire the supremeness of bodily and of mental distress, as is burial before death. The unendurable oppression of the lungs- the stifling fumes from the damp earth-the clinging to the death garments-the rigid embrace of the narrow house-the blackness of the absolute Night-the silence like a sea that overwhelms."
