Welcome to the freedom where you just fuck kids with sex. Don't eat, Cooper. I don't want it. Don't eat it. Hey! In the book, The Black Cat, the man has to fight his demons every night, or otherwise he loses control and becomes a monster. The Black Cat is a story written by Edgar Allan Poe. This story is about a man that has an alcohol problem, but he loves animals. And his belief, his beloved wife, but one night he loses control and makes a mistake that he can't undo, which haunts him until the end of his days. The main plot in The Black Cat is a man who struggles with his drinking problem. One night, he decides to take his anger out on his black cat, Pluto. After he slashes his cat's eye out, everything in his life starts to go bad. So he decides to hang Pluto, thinking it will get rid of his bad luck. After he hangs his cat, his house burns down and he and his wife have to move and buy a new one. When he moves into his new home, another black cat suddenly appears. And the man decides to take the cat in because of all the guilt he felt with Pluto. The man struggles to fight his demons that haunt him every night with his drinking and his past, which will continue to haunt him more and more as time goes on. I enjoy the story of The Black Cat for one reason, because of the through-description narration from the author, allowing a clear picture and image of how the character feels and how he is slowly overtaken by his inner demons. The way you see inside of the character's mind and how you learn the twists of the story as he learns them as well really helps make the story what it is. I continue to turn the page again and again when curiosity was brought about what he will do next, about how he is haunted in a way, and also reading and wishing for justice in the story. In The Black Cat, Poe creates a character that is both realistic and disturbing. The narrator starts off as a loving animal lover, but becomes increasingly unstable and cruel as the story progresses. Poe's use of first-person narration allows the reader to experience the character's transformation firsthand, making it all the more unsettling. The character's descent into madness is both fascinating and horrifying, and his actions become more and more deprived until he commits murder. In the end, there is no hope for redemption, leaving the reader with a haunting and unforgivable tale. Our group did enjoy the short story, The Black Cat. We felt there was plenty of mystery, and we never knew what was going to happen next. One thing our group felt that could have been changed was maybe instead of being so violent, he could have been nicer to the cats. And if you liked this podcast, make sure to tune in for next time. Wait, we're doing that now? We're doing that now. Leave a five-star rating. Alright, alright.
