Coffeehouse #2

Out of the 6 stories we have read so far, my favorite would be “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe. When I first heard of the title it just sounded so interesting to me. I did not know it would be the mysterious and murder type of story but the plot and suspense was so unique. From all the 6 stories I have read for this class, this story was the one I found most interesting to me. The way that Edgar Allan Poe went and displayed the man’s problem with alcohol which led him into murdering his wife and his cats. From the title, honestly I did not know and think that this story would be a murder story. I thought it would be symbolizing a black cat from the reference from its title. The way the man character was portrayed in the story intrigued me and how at the end the cops came to check for proof or evidence in his basement, but the man played along with the cops to help them find evidence against him. It just seemed so weird to me, I mean the way this character was insisting to find evidence against himself to the cops just was surprising to me.
