About This Novel

The characteristics of Edgar Allan Poe's novels are "elevating the funny to the grotesque, the terrible to the horror, the wit to the mockery, and the strange to the weird and mysterious." In order to achieve this effect, he always crafted and constructed cleverly in his creations. In subjects such as abnormal psychology, the horror of death, and resurrection from the dead, he used this method to heighten the atmosphere and make readers feel a thrilling and strong horror effect. They are concerned with associations with the beauty, joy and cruelty of death at its highest level. The protagonists of the story are all shrouded in the shadow of death. They are seriously ill and unable to escape.

jumping frog

A farce indeed, this is the triumph of the clown. Although he is a tyrant, he has no brains, including his ministers.
