What is the falling action in 'The Black Cat' by Edgar Allan Poe?

Answer 1

The falling action of a story refers to the events that occur following the climax. In Poe's "The Black Cat," the falling action occurs after the police discover the dead body of the wife, and realize that it was the cries of the cat that caused the body to be found.

Answer 2

In "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe, the falling action occurs when the narrator's guilt over his actions reaches a climax, leading him to confess his crime to the police. This confession ultimately leads to his arrest and conviction for murder.

Answer 3

The conclusion of "The Raven" stands as one of the most harrowing moments in American poetry-a vision of psychological, emotional, and spiritual paralysis and despair. The gothic decor and high rhetoric do not disguise the emotional authenticity of the final tableau. As Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarmé, and the other Symbolists understood, "The Raven" is the signature work of un poète maudit, "a cursed poet." They honored Poe as a brilliant artist who was destroyed by his very gifts of heightened perception. Like its author, the poem's protagonist is an aesthete and intellectual whose mental gifts provide no protection against tragedy. The depth of his love for the lost Lenore only makes his suffering more intense and enduring.

Answer 6

There is none, because The Raven is a poem not a short story. Falling action is one element of the plot of a short story.
