Edgar allen poe

Reading this story from Edgar Allen Poe was quite interesting. The story shows many elements of gothic such as its dark, mysterious, and it also contains a twisted plot. The setting as well is gothic, due to it being in an insane asylum. From dinner scene, when the narrator was having dinner with everyone, something seemed off or that something is going to happen because all these people he is dining in an asylum with about 30 people who look rich, which are dressed in fancy clothing. As you keep reading the narrator realizes that these people are actually insane. That these are the patients within the asylum. Because these people are acting different, acting crazy. Which I find interesting that these patients start to act like animals. Which shows the madness and craziness in the story. What really was surprising, was the twist of the story that the narrator himself was insane as well and is a patient in the asylum.
