are there any stories by Edgar Allan Poe that can be compared to The Premature Burial.

Question

(excluding The Tell Tale Heart)

Answer 1

How about "The Cask of Amontillado"?

Answer 2

Compared in what way? Story-telling technique, plot, use of literary devises?

Answer 3

Compared in any way possible, or at least 3 of the six.

Elements that you might include in your comparison include the following:
• Theme
• Structure of story
• Use of figurative language, literary elements, motif, and imagery
• Characterization
• Element of fear
• Historical basis

I'll try The Cask of Amontillado

Answer 4

I think you could compare and contrast any two of his stories. I rather like "The Fall of the House of Usher".

Answer 5

Remember -- to compare is to tell how they are similar, but to contrast is to tell how they are different.
