The Pit an the PendulumBy Edger Allen PoeThe Pit an the Pendulum by Edger Allen Poe is what this strain came from. The story starts with the heretic getting sentenced the death penalty. He is thr let in a big pitch black pit, with a swinging pendulum abeyance from the roof, to eventually be killed in some means. I believe that this casing is a dynamic character because he goes finished a push-down stack and changes a lot.One thing that was interesting was, that the heretic might break been post humus. He says I was sick, sick unto death, he referred to his sickness as past tense by saying was. Unto death means that he is dead. So he was saying that he was sick until he died. So is he post humus or does it just sound that way? I think if you read this story you will agree that he is delusional. In fact he says I saw angels for a a few(prenominal) moments of delirious Horror. So he also knows hes delirious. For a while he saw angels, then their heads burst into flames and even tually into candles. He also sees the judges again and some other images.As you would theory he was scared. He said that he trembled at the sound of his own voice. He is scared about the horrible death and hes non even sure what it is. The blade, at the end of the story, comes down so far that when hes lying down on the chronicle it is slowly cutting his robe.Finally he becomes relived. He actually was not just relieved at the end but also in the middle of the story. He stated that his distress had left him. The rats bite through his straps that were holding him down and Im sure that led to a lot of relief. At the end of the story he sees an outstretched sleeve and then is pulled out of his cell, which was the ultimate relief.
