Read the selection below from the short story "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the
question that follows.
I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which
had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that
very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of
its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors.
I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my
own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me.
How does Poe portray the madness of the narrator in the passage above?

Answer:

Explanation:

Pretend that you've never read the whole story of the Pit and the Pendulum and read the passage you've given us. What's the subject? Can you make it out?

You think it is about the death he avoided.

But the scene shifts to the consequences of the fall and the world would not have seen him.

Then he shifts again to the fabulous and frivolous tales of the inquisition. What has that to do with nearly falling to your doom?

Now he again shifts to the kind of torture that awaits him.

So the prose, though quite beautiful, is unconnected as though his mind can't focus on a single thought for not even a sentence. Have you met such people? Don't you question their state of mind.

Read the following excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" and answer question.
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed
revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a
threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with
which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is
unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to
make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I
continued, as was my in to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of
his immolation
