As I read the short story, The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe, I thought this story was a waste of my time until I reached the middle of the story. People who become intoxicated by alcohol do not realize the things that they could do until they do it. Then when they know what they did, they try to prevent it from happening again or go into denial making the situation even worse then what it already is just like the main character in the story.
I am shocked of what happened in this story because I never knew the short story would have a twist to it. My eyes have been opened to the fact that alcoholics are as dangerous as serial killer with a knife. All the toxins in their body, dilutes their brains and their thinking. They lose the things the love the most. As I continue reading the story, it made it clear to me that the main character really didn’t care if he killed his wife, but rather he cared that he would not get caught for his crime. The Black Cat, I guess, to me was significant because the cat played a role as a test mark to see how much he really cared for his family. The 2nd cat that came along was another test, but also played a role to make him feel guilty. I actually think that the 1st cat was reborn into another cat to see if he would make the same decision or make him pay for what he did.
