at the beginning of "The Black Cat," the narrator doesn't explain what he did to deserve death as a consequence of his actions. what effect does this withholding of information create?

It creates a sense of curiosity inside the reader to invoke interest to continue reading the story.

It increases suspense so that the reader must continue reading to find answers.

Hope that helps
