The Premature Burial
- 1. University of El Salvador Western Multidisciplinary Campus Literature II The Premature Burial by: Edgar Allan Poe Katherinne Hernandez Carmen Lima
- 2. Edgar Allan Poe Born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts, writer, poet, critic, and editor Edgar Allan Poe's tales of mystery and horror gave birth to the modern detective story and many of his works, including “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” became literary classics. "The Raven," which he published in 1845, is considered among the best-known poems in American literature.
- 5. Charaters Story # Principal Characters Second characters 1 Wife of a congress member 2 Victorine Lafourcade Julien Bossuel Renelle 3 Artillery official 4 Young lawyer from London Edward Stapleton 5
- 6. Setting Story Setting 1 Baltimore 2 1810 France 3 4 1831 London 5 Richmond Virginia
- 7. plot External Conflict People are thought to be dead but are not and they cut open, examined, and buried. Internal Conflict Even when the narrator knew that he suffered from catalepsy he descovered that he was obssessed with death
- 8. Exposition “…It is the fact -- it is the reality -- it is the history which excites. As inventions, we should regard them with simple abhorrence…” • the Passage of the Beresina • the Earthquake at Lisbon • the Plague at London • the Massacre of St. Bartholomew
- 9. Rising action The Narrator mentions several people who have been buried alive.
- 10. Climax Attacks of catalepsy and the narrator awakens in pitch darkness in a confined area. He cries out but is immediately hushed.
- 11. Falling action He realizes he's in the berth of a boat, not a grave.
- 12. Resolution The event snaps him out of his obsession with death
- 13. Point of view 3r prson that turns into a 1st person narration
- 14. Theme Being buried alive is, as Poe puts it, "The most terrific of extremes ever faced by mere mortals". His horror story explains the terror experienced by those who have been buried alive, as well as their diseases that gave the conjecture of the victim being dead. Normally, the victims went into deep comas which in Poe's time were often mistaken for death, so they were accidentally buried alive. In some of his examples, the people were discovered, dug up and saved from a horrible fate.
- 15. Terror The central theme of "The Premature Burial" is extreme terror and its effects on the human mind. The narrator's terror is the result of his dwelling obsessively on morbid thoughts.
- 16. Isolation Being cut off, being isolated from the world of the living, is in part the cause of the narrator's abnormal fear of being buried alive. The thought of being alone and abandoned, without hope of ever seeing another human being, petrifies the narrator. Ironically, to avoid the possibility of premature burial, he avoids leaving his home to be among people. "I hesitated to ride, or to walk, or to indulge in any exercise that would carry me from home," he says.
