• About Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

On 16th August to 19th August we have guest lecture for Edger Allan Poe short story explain by Dr.Jay Mehtasir. This are the five short story:-

1) The Fall of House
2) The Purloined Letter
3) The Gold Bug
4) The Tell Tale Heart
5) The Cask of Amontillado

•  Make a comparative study of 'The Tell-tale Heart' and 'The Black Cat'.

‘The Tell tale Heart’ is kind of self conference story while also self conference story. Both story narrative style is different because we can not decide who is ‘The Tell tale Heart' story narrator. In this story, the narrator is ‘I' so how can we decided who is narrate he or she. This is a story of a servant killed his Ower because of his ower queer eye. While 'The Black cat' story related to one person killed the cat because of his ego hurt then he killed his wife also. Both story crime reason one hatred eye. One is person eye and The black cat story protagonist haterd black cat eye

• Analyze the genre of short story keeping in mind Poe's works. References of stories by other writers and/or regional writers are expected in it.

I analysis to focus on the genre of short stories, so these things are more appropriate to analysing short story as like setting, plot, characterization, plot and structure, conflict and climax, theme and narrative point of view. Here analyse of Poe's short story it is type of Gothic story or horror story. Poe's story setting is also horrible and main character actions are also horrible. He also follow climax and conflict for example The Tell Tale heart story starting as smoothly but end with murdered. Characters are shown they have conflict what to do and how can do crime ?
Most of I didn’t read story book but I remember some of the story which were in my syllabus. Out syllabus I read some of Jayantilal Gohil's short story. But here one short story “Garasani” by Zaverchand Meghani this story main character action as like terrible.

At last day Jaysir told us how to write poem and suggest to read lot then write something.
So thank you Jaysir for these wonderful session and I would like thanks to our professor Dilip Baradsir for organized that fruitful session for us.
