Does anyone know what are 6 different reoccurring elements in Edgar Allen Poe's stories; The Tell Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The masque of Red Death, The pit And the Pendulum, The Sphinx, And the Black Cat?... :I kind of don't get what my teacher means by reoccurring Elements. One example he gave me is the Narrator seems to be animositieske in the Tell tale heart he murders the old man and makes him to pieces, and for the Cask Of Amontillado Montrezor traps Fortunato in a small room in the cellar and blocks the room with bricks and cement leaving him to die. But i dnt know how animosityic reoccurringring in the rest of the stories. And i also dnt know any other common elements.
