Reading this novel, I feel deeply horrible. Personally, it is disastrous to live with this kind of man who is an alcoholic and is easy to lose his temper, especially when he is drunk. I am gloomy with the man’s behavior and have pity on the black cat and the man’s wife.
When I read The Black Cat, I saw a psycho, a murderer who cruelly killed a black cat loved by his wife, then brutishly murdered his wife instead of his second cat, and hid her carcass in the wall. I was confused with the behavior of the man who did all that damn things and wondering that what a terrible thing drove the man to lose his mind to do these. So I read again and again so as to find out the reason and figure out the answer.
In this short novel, all things happened strangely and weirdly. The man, the main character in this narrative, was very kind and obedient and loved pets very much in his younger age, but when he grew up and married his temper became badly and he was easy to lose temper and beat his wife and pets. One night, unexpectedly, under the influence of alcohol the man, like an evil advocator, violently grasped the poor beast by the throat and deliberately cut one of its eyes from the socket with a pen-knife. One morning, in cool blood, he slipped a noose about the black cat’s neck and hung it to the limb of a tree with the tears streaming from his eyes. One night, when the man did this cruel deed, he was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire and his whole property was swallowed up by the conflagration. One night, the man brought a black cat with a large, indefinite patch of white in its breast who endeared itself to his wife. One day, on the steep stairs, the man uplifted an axe in order to kill the cat. Instead, he assassinated his wife in his wrath. One day, in the damp and black cellar, where the man buried his wife’s carcass in the wall, a wailing shriek consigned the man to the prison and the man received the deserved retribution. All these plots are connected with the one-the black cat. In another words, the black cat is the clue of this narrative and represents a lot ofthings.
