The Black Cat
by Edgar Allan Poe
The study of the psychology of guilt is often combined with " The Heart of a Tale " Po " in the analysis. In both, the killer carefully hides his guilt and sees himself as impregnable, but is eventually torn apart and unpacked, triggered by a humiliating reminder of his guilt. A man who overcomes alcohol, is steeped in wild depravity, ashamed of his obsession with his black cat, turns into a disaster in this classic story written by one of the world's most famous horror writers.
