I think that the both stroy of protagonists have psychopathy. They both planed perfectly of killing people. Also, the reason they plan to murder was just a simple problem. There could be alot of ways to solve the problems. Just killing people couldn't be the best way to solve the problems. We shouldn't think criticizely and should think in a positive way. This both stories were published from Edgar Allan Poe. By his stories we could know that he was an criticize people. He couldn't think in a positive way, because his life was too harsh. He was orphaned when he was young. Also, he couldn't graduate University, because he didn't had enough money. His wife died after he published his first book. It was very tough to live. So, he relied on drugs and alcohol.
Why the picture of a house in the tropics in the Ambitious post? What is the story's setting?
ReplyDelete" I think that the both stroy of protagonists have psychopathy." How is this related to one of the main themes of Dark Romantic literature?
When writing on a story, first you should identify what the main theme of the story is; in the case of these two stories, a sociopath confesses their crime. When you write about the story, talk about how the story shows us this theme; avoid merely summarizing the story. In your writing, you should be making connections between elements of the story and it's theme.
