Why are some of the stressful things in Poe’s life that probably made him so melancholy? Which characters in these two stories show signs of monomania? How does it affect the actions they take? What evidence do you see that supernatural forces might be at work in “The Black Cat”? List at least two specific examples. Also explain whether you think the fate of its narrator had more to do with supernatural forces or with his own behavioral and mental state? In your opinion what could he have done to avoid all the horror and pain that he suffered and caused others to suffer? Explain at least three reasons you think the story “Berenice” either does or does not fit the Gothic genre. If you were one of Poe’s trusted friends, what feedback would you give him about the two stories you just read? Is there anything you would change about his vocabulary, the graphic language he used in his horrific descriptions, or his choice of topics? Please explain what you would have him change and why. It is fine if you decide he should NOT change anything, but you still need to give specific comments of praise to the elements you most enjoyed and explain why.
