PLEASE HELP ASAP
In “the pit and the pendulum”, the narrator explains, “the intensity of the darkness seem to oppress and stifle me.” Why does this Poe include this description of the narrator‘s feelings about the darkness?
A- by having the narrator focus on the intensity of the darkness, Poe effectively directs the attention of readers away from the dangers that lurk within the darkness and lays the groundwork for the stories surprise ending.
B- by having the narrator describe how something as ordinary as darkness bothers him, poe is able to establish the narrator as an unreliable figure who is prone to exaggerations and lies.
C- by having the narrator focus on his own feelings of being oppressed and stifled, Poe establishes the idea that the real danger that the narrator faces exists only in the narrators mind.
D- by having the narrator describe the darkness as a force that has a physical impact on him, Poe helps create a claustrophobic mood and a sense of the narrators great fear and discomfort.
