"The Black Cat"

In the story "The Black Cat" was about a man that seem to be really crazy. In this book the main character showed how he related to Dark Romantism a lot, he was insane and seem to not care about what he did. From the beginning of the story the man seemed to be alright. He loved his wife and enjoyed the others pet's they had together. He had a black cat, which he called Pluto that went everywhere he went. Him and the cat was cool until he started acting different.

I think where Dark Romantism really start showing for him was when he started beating his wife and hurting the pets. He even hurted Pluto and that was like his bestfriend in my eyes and how i seen it, they was cool for several years until he started drinking alcohol. "One night, returning home, much intoxicated, from one of my haunts about town, I fancied that the cat avoided my presence. I seized him; when, in his fright at my violence, he inflicted a slight wound upon my hand with his teeth". After he did that he took the cat outside and hung him. The was pure evil to take you anger out on a cat. "On the night of the day on which this cruel deed was done, I was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire". Someone had set the cat on fire and threw it through his window causing hid curtains to catch on fire.

He then replaced Pluto with another cat, and strated treating that cat the same way. Just right before he was about to kill the new cat, his wife stoped him and that made him even madder. "I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain. She fell dead upon the spot, without a groan". That was real unpure and insane to do such a thing to your wife because she wouldn't let you kill a innocent cat. This man seemed to be really out of order and crazy. He thought a maybe nobody wouldn't notice nothing different. Well i'm thinking they did when the police came over to his house. The body of his wife and cat was revealed when it fell from the wall he had done a not too good job hiding them. This is all is a good example of Dark Romantism. It showed this man was everything that Dark Romanicism believed.
