Every time Poe writes poetic prose, he does it intense and .
The two following tales - "The Cast of Amontillado" .
and " The Tell Tale Heart " - are stories where the narrator is .
completely different but the author is the same. For instance, .
" The Cast of Amontillado ", is a prose where the narrator has no .
worries, he's conscience is clean, and the narrator is free at the .
end. On the other hand, " The Tell Tale Heart ", is without a .
doubt a different poetic prose. In this tale, the narrator feels .
guilty about what he has done, he is insane, and at the end he goes .
to jail. However, as you read these two literary tragedies, it might .
be a little different than you might have expected. .
.
" The Cast of Amontillado ", is a powerful tale of revenge. .
Poe write this story from the perspective of Montresor (Main .
Character), who vows revenge against Fortunato (Montresors" .
conscience) in an effort to support his time honored family motto. .
Poes's poetic prose is a style of premeditated murder because as .
you read this tale , you"ll become aware of the fact that .
Montresor is not a reliable narrator, and that he has a tendency .
to hold grudges and exaggerate terribly as he refers to the .
"thousand injuries that he had suffered at the hands of .
Fortunato". In structure, there can be no doubt that both .
Montresor's plan of revenge and Poe's story are carefully crafted .
to create the desire of effect towards the reader.
In contrast, " The Tell Tale Heart " consists in human nature .
that is a delicate balance of light and dark; good and evil. Unlike, .
" The Cast of Amontillado", Poe writes this tale from the point of .
view of the murderer of the old man. The narrator in this .
particular story, adds to the overall effect of horror and suspense .
by continually stressing to the reader that he or she is not mad, .
and tries to convince you of the fact by how well observed this .
brutal crime was planned and done. Poe's literary prose is a case .
