Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar American Gothic, language: English, comment: Sprachliche und inhaltliche Analyse der Kurzgeschichten 'The Black Cat' und 'The Tell-Tale Heart' von Edgar Allan Poe mit anschliessender Gegenüberstellung und Vergleich. , abstract: "And much of Madness and more of Sin And Horror the Soul to the Plot." This line taken from Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Conquerer Worm' perfectly describes theessential elements featured in many of Poe's poems and stories, on which I am about to writein particular. Madness and horror, sins and the 'Imp of the Perverse' - The Evil, which lieswithin all of us - are popular and frequently recurring motives in Poe's literary works andthereby create a mood and atmosphere quite dark and nightmarish. The reader is offered adeep glance into the abyss of the human mind and psyche.In this term paper I'm going to draw a comparison between two of Poe's short stories, whichboth deal with the above mentioned concepts and images and therefore, are counted to theGothic Genre - 'The Black Cat' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart.' The main focus of my work willlie on the similarities of the storytelling structures and the speech Poe uses to convey thiscertain feeling of suspense, horror and thrill. I will examine which further motives and imagesPoe uses in this two stories and which function they fulfil.I'm going to carry out my researches primarily with the help of the books: 'Poe' by WalterLenning, 'Poe - A Biography' by Frank T. Zumbach, 'The Cambridge Companion to GothicFiction' by Jerrod Hogle and 'The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings' by EdgarAllan Poe.
