Write an essay on ONE of the following topics. 
1. In “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “William Wilson” we have first-person narrators who are also characters in the narratives. Discuss/compare the narrators’ credibility with a focus on their account of the events, their roles in the narratives, and their psychological states of mind. 
 
2. In “The Black Cat” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”, the precarious balance between reality and unreality emphasizes the fragility of the human psyche. Discuss THREE significant literary devices that Poe employs in these stories to delineate this theme. 
 
3. Some readers argue that the use of the double leads to static and aesthetically flawed fiction.  Discuss whether  or not there is enough ambiguity in Poe’s creation of the double in “William Wilson” to warrant this criticism. 
Do NOT use generative AI tools.
