"Whatever spoke to you, that Poe gave you in this story."
You know what he gave me from this story?
Trauma.
I listened to the audio of this story in the middle of the night, figuring it'd be a fun murder story like Poe's usual stuff, and I got a cat with its eye carved out and then hung. Was not expecting it at all.
Always a good time when Noah joins! I don't think I've ever actually heard about this story - I know we studied a few in school, but not this one.
Robin Hobb would love it
A great discussion of a classic Poe tale. And a great month of stories and breakdowns! For next October, I'd offer "The Sandman" by E.T.A. Hoffmann, a truly weird and creepy example of gothic horror published in 1817 with so much to unpack.
Ooo I think someone else mentioned that too!
I distinctly remember finding this as a kid in my house, it was part of a collection of horror stories. I picked it because I liked cats. I had my dad read it out to me and we both enjoyed it and felt thrilled as we went through it. A memorable experience. It's interesting to be older now and reflect on the deeper part of the story explored in the video. Maybe I'll re-read it sometime.
Cats are the gateway to many things aren’t they!
A fun Convo, Happy Halloween y'all! 🐈⬛🐈⬛
Happy Halloween! Thanks for spending time with us
Noah on the cantina!!!
You could sense the power, no?
Man I loved this, guys. So fun to see Noah here and your conversations are brilliant!
He’s a hoot!
Hi Guys, Krypto hit on something that is so telling about reading Poe...That is...the age you are while reading a Poe story has an affect on what you "Take Away" from the narrative.As a younger person Poe represented Horror, and the Macabre,while as an adult the Psychological ,mental issues shine through. I enjoy all the different interpretations of Poe's literature. Thank You for sharing your thoughts through your videos.
I’m exploring this feeling right now w Ulysses. I’ve heard it’s about being a “complete character.” As in one that’s been a child, a parent, someone who’s loved, experienced pain. And am kind of reverberating with that and personal love etc.
I teach this story every now and again at school. Did it in summer school this year. It was one of the only stories that the summer school kids actually got into.
I always have students who want to know more about the pet monkey, and I always tell them, "so do I".😁
Sequel! Sequel!
Amazing discussion!
Thanks so much!
🐈⬛If the second cat was just imaginary, how did the police hear the cry from behind the wall? 😿 I think the cat is the protagonist and the narrator is the antagonist? What do you think? 😸 I see this as less of a confession and more of an excuse for the narrator's behavior. If you google, "Alcoholics always blame," you will get a zillion hits because alcoholics and drug abusers always blame their behavior on others or the substance they abuse. The narrator lashes out at his sweet wife and their pet, but he never takes ownership for his own abusive behavior. To him, it was the alcohol's fault or the fault of an enchanted feline. I enjoyed this story.
The cat was definitely the catagonist 😂
@@TheCodeXCantina What a purrrfect answer. It's impawsible to refute.😸
Wow!!! Thank you!!
Any time
Love this video. Vote for the provoce of the Universe theory, but Poe would not be a geneius if that can not have a 12 meanings. And mostly corect answers.
I was typing out what I thought about this story, but around the nine minute mark, Krypto already said it haha. But yes, I agree completely as the cat being a representation of the characters inside damage--which makes the final line so much more powerful, the beast that was walled up inside had finally been realized. It has been a long time since I read this one, and I don't remember the sense of remorse--I think it is time to go back to this haha.
What’s your favorite Poe story?
@@TheCodeXCantina Probably, "Imp of the Perverse." It has a lot of Kierkegaard, though that could just be my reading of it haha
