Similarities Between The Black Cat And The Cask Of Amontillado

Murder is one of the most vile, inhumane crimes a person can commit. People often wonders, what makes an individual want to commit such a crime. obviously, no one born to be a murderer. As individuals in society, the belief of being born a murderer is false. There are so many things contributed for someone to become a murderer. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Black Cat" and " The Cask of Amontillado," each character has different reason to murder their victim. The type of murders they committed was shockingly cruel and inhuman. They are plans and calculates their assaults, and has absolutely no empathy with their victims; they seen their victim is not a person. They do not have hopes, dreams, and desires. They do not feel pain or suffering.

Every murderer is a person that is temporarily or permanently consumed by hate. When people go into a rage, they lose their normal restraints. They lose their self control. People can’t eliminate anger from the situation, because most people react to each other with resentment or hate. This is done automatically, and often, unconsciously. It is so common, it is as nothing to most people. In most societies, anger is considered normal. Everybody does it. Still, most people don’t want to talk about it. Even the character in the short story “The Tell-tale heart,” was hiding the fact that that he hate the old man. As he
describes, “I loved the old man,” the narrator says, adding, “He had never wronged me.” Next, he reveals that he was hated with the old man's eye “the eye of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it." (74) Without any real motivation, then, other than his anger, he decides to take the old man's life.

For seven nights, he opened the door ever so cautiously, then when he was just inside, he opened his lantern just enough so that one small ray of light would cast its tiny ray upon the vulture eye. The following morning, he would go into the old man's chamber and speak to him.On the eighth night, he decided it was now the time to commit the deed. He killed the old man, and then he turning him into many parts. Anger can be seen to be the root cause of

murder.
Another problem with anger is that its direction cannot be controlled.

When the pressure builds to a sufficient degree, anger lashes out to the nearest person, even if that person is not the cause of the original resentment. The narrator in the short story of the black cat, he let hatred took over himself as describe,”moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of all things and of all kinds.” (113) one day, as he is going down to the cellar with his wife , he almost tripped on the cat. He took an axe to attack the cat but his wife tried to protect the cat. This made his anger lashed out to his wife, he turned to his wife and hit her with the axe on her head and she died. we can see that he completely out of control. He let his anger took over and it causes poor

judgments.
Revenge also is one of the big reason led to murder. Revenge can make us do things that hurt other people. Some people can get to the point of killing just to get their revenge, just like in the story we had read, "The Cask of Amontillado."
the narrator begins by telling us that fortunato has hurt him. Even worse, fortunato has insulted him. He must get revenge. As he described “The thousand injuries of fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured up insult, I vowed revenge.” He found the right time to do what he had planned. when Fortunato, already half-drunk and costumed as a jester, is particularly vulnerable. He made Fortunato became more drank and conducts him to his empty palazzo and leads him down into the family catacombs, all the while playing him with drink. Through underground corridors with piles of skeletons alternating with wine casks, he leads Fortunato, whose jester’s bells jingle grotesquely in the funeral atmosphere. In the deepest crypt there is a small recess, and there he chains Fortunato to a pair of iron staples and then begins to lay a wall of stone and mortar, with which he buries his enemy alive. he was completely obsessed with vengeance. I think there is no reason to take another human life. God is the only who decides when we die. The person that kills to get vengeance is completely evil.
The murderers also can creates the suffering for the victim’s family and friends. They took the life of a loved one away, creating an enormous amount of suffering for the victim’s family and friends.The pain and sadness one feels inside when something bad has happened to someone close to them. No one in my family that I know of was suffering from murder. However, I knew someone in my neighborhood was a victim of murder. A father of two kids got killed by a truck driver just because he got into an accident with the murderer. I heard that after the accident he tried to talk with the truck driver, and then the truck driver took out his gun and he shooted the guy on the head. The victim was a single father, and both his kids was younger than five years old. The murderer had inflicted pain on those kids, either internally or externally, caused them and their family agony.
we should not get murder. We don't know what the consequences of our murder will be or the harm it can cause people around us. Maybe it will make us feel even worse. We shouldn't take that chance.
