And even then, they still think they're dealing with a person in a transgressive costume right up until they yank it off and find no one behind the mask. It's definitely intended to symbolize that ignoring a problem not only doesn't solve it but also leaves you vulnerable to the consequences.

When I read 'The Telltale Heart' I thought that the beating sound he heard was actually his own heart, and that the more he worried about it the louder it got and the more he was driven crazy by it, thinking that it was the old man's heart.

Regarding Fortunado's silence at the end of that story, he apparently had a really bad cough, probably had asthma or something, and apparently the tomb in which he would be killed was really suffocating.

The reason why fortunato wasnt speaking to montresor is because he was dying from his cough and montresor was acting kind of pissed that he died because at the beggining of the book he said something like revenge is only worthwhile if your victim knows the full length of their punishment. Fortunato died of his cough and not from starvation which made Montresor angry. ( that is if he even realized he was already dead)

You mean mallgawfs who listen to Marylin Manson and those shoddy nu metül bands, don't you? I am kinda betting you went to high school after the 00s, since that was the only time when you had way too many kids claiming they were now goth, but couldn't even name a single proper gothic rock, post-punk or darkwave song. Actual -excuse me for my elitism, but it's true- goths weren't really widespread in schools after the 80s, when the goth subculture (yes, subculture, not "fashion movement") had its peak popularity. Being into goth has less to do with reading Poe and gothic novels (something anyone can enjoy, regardless of their mood and depression btw isn't a mood, it's a serious illness) and being part of some kind of nebulous dark side than it was, traditionally in the 80s and first half of the 90s at least, about listening to gloomy, introspective post-punk music á la Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees or the Virgin Prunes and dressing up in pointy boots, too much fishnet and donning a shitton of hairspray onto the head to build ridiculous big hair nests. Also emo is something entirely different. Ofc lots of kids go through some edgy phase where they hop on to everything that looks cool to them, without really giving a shit about what it means in terms of music, history, etc because puberty makes them feel like they don't belong and hopping on some bandwagon gives them the allusion of belonging. That said, Poe and dark literature likely didn't turn students into try hard goffs. Hormones did. hence you get so many people during the age 12-20 shifting through all subcultures and hobbies you can name, from punk to hippie to vegan and prideful gamer or self-called world's next super models and they change that every week.

I remember reading the tell tale heart in middle school and being fascinated about the idea of somebody being so nervous they can hear their own heartbeat and is so insane that they believe it's the heartbeat of their victim. Lol.

Maybe his last name was Allen Paul, but while he was in school, he'd show his teachers his work and they'd say, "Thank you Allen P-oh, that's morbid."

Thinking back on it, one thing I love about "The Cask of Amontillado" leaving out the actual motive for Montresor's murder of Fortunato (apart from how he inflicted "a thousand injuries" but the straw that broke the camel's back was "when he ventured upon insult") is that the reader can basically write in whatever _they_ want, depending on how sympathetic they feel towards Montresor. Whereas if Poe had picked some specific act or acts, different audience members would have had different opinions of the story based on how awful or how nominal they view the act. One person's justifiable reason for sealing a dude up in a wall in a wine cellar is, after all, a different person's no big deal. (That Red, in the video, seems to make the opposite assumption--that Montresor is ultimately a murderous nut--is, I think, a product of modern times, in which we really don't see a few insults as a good reason to go bang away at each other with pistols at dawn in a "duel of honor," still not extinguished behavior in Poe's day. So the mere fact that Montresor is committing revenge-murder is pretty well enough to condemn him by our standards.)

@tskmaster3837

That's "Let the punishment fit the crime" sort of thinking. Logical and measured. That's not Poe. Also, it's not insane. I think it's more of a case of "I have a punishment and a victim. What crime can I accuse him of... Oh, I'll think of something on my way down there." Poe had more interest in "unreliable narrators" than dueling and insults upon one's honor.

@tonyhakston536

Duels of honor were rarely (intentionally) fatal. They usually lasted until either first blood, which makes them akin to modern fencing, or one of the parties either can’t or otherwise won’t fight, making it akin to every other combat sport. The idea that was generally less “I will slaughter you on a leveled playing field, so that I can’t be tried for murder,” and more “I will let you, a man who recently expressed distaste for me, swing a deadly weapon at me in order to prove how wrong you are.”

There’s basically no crime that would warrant walling someone up in complete darkness to kill them. There isn’t a whole lot of “well, maybe he was justified” when you’re doing what would be just about the worst punishment you could use on someone. The guy was very likely overreacting, with practically no chance of him not being crazy in some capacity.

Something I’ve come up with is the following: In Tale Tell Heart, the heart the insane man hears in the floorboard is actually the man’s own heart, since subconsciously, the man is guilty and nervous of being caught. Hearing your own heartbeat in stories means your experiencing an extreme emotion, typically fear. The man mistakes it for the old man’s heart in the floorboards, and so he confesses, which in turn stops the loud beating of his heart since the tension within his mind and body have dispersed-he is no longer nervous about being caught since he has let that go These are my thoughts, anyway.

The Telltale Heart narrator is great. Nothing beats the dramatic irony of a blatantly deranged narrator insisting he is NOT AT ALL INSANE. Very fascinating. And hilarious. (To me, at least. Is that weird?)

Poe's prose is S-tier. It's so unbelievably good, everything he wrote has this subtle genius to the way the words flow. He was a master of using sound to create effect. Every time I read one of his stories I end up reading it out loud, and the long meandering melodic sentences structures never lose me even for a second, despite their constant little asides and minute digressions. Reading Poe's work is a constant delight.

You know the taletell heart is one of my favorites since at the beginning the guy is talking about both his hearing and his sanity, even talking about how the old man has never wronged him in any way and has actually been pretty good to him for most of his life so that way you really get an idea of just how unstable this guy is, especially since he did because of a creepy eye

Fortunato is already dead, thus robbing Montresor of the slow, hunger inducing death that he had wanted. God, isn't it perfect?

Amontillado is not only real, but predates the story, proving it wasn't defictionalization. Fortunato has no idea what he's talking about and is acting like a know-it-all. I wrote a fanfic where he actually did know a thing or two, but the two had grown up poor together and when they were making it big, Fortunato managed to get the girl Montresor was also interested in and was trying to distance himself from him to look cool in front of his new wine friends which was why Montresor was so salty, and this important clue went completely over my head.

Re-Animator as well

Rewatching your videos now, especially this one just makes me think of how appropriate "The masque of the red death" is....

I have read all of these stories, expect for the Mask of Red Death, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them, quite morbid.

Demon Red is my favorite Red.

7:39 Well duh, that's why I always make sure to tell people I see in person that I'm not crazy every time I see them. That way they know I'm not crazy. 8:21 Classic mistake. You must have missed the part of the poem where he said he wasn't crazy. That clearly establishes he's not crazy.

I agree. It's exactly the other way round. He was the only sane person in a world of crazy people. And they all conspired to make him crazy too.

Some of my favorite (and somewhat lesser-known) things that I've heard of about Poe was that he loved puzzles and ciphers and that he had a rivalry with Rufus Wilmot Griswold, who they poetry slammed against each other. It kinda gives me this visual image of Edgar and Rufus having epic rap battles while doing Jojo poses (lolz). XD

As an undead I found this INCREDIBLY nostalgic. Thank you!

Mike Kapunan Right! Who then later build said French cathedrals and get called Goths again by Italian hipsters who missed the good ol' Roman days, and then even more hippier-than-thou hipsters write a bunch of literature calling themselves Gothic because of the long-gone period, who later on later on inspire a new genre of music derived from Punk, which itself births a whole new style of fashion. ...And a dude kills somebody and everyone thinks they're all homicidal cultists. ...In case anyone wonders how it's all connected. I'd fact check that though. (But don't actually, because we're really a society of Vampires trying to bring back the good ol' Gothic days by enlisting the youth into our blood pack through good music, and slowly turn this New World into the dark romantic European streets that have long since been paved over)
