Discuss how Poe was brilliant as a writer for using multiple literary devices such as irony, symbols, etc. when he only had 1 year of college. (Use at least 1 biography on Poe).
This is from an email my professor sent me. The story we read was “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe.
Good topic, but you, most likely, want to concentrate on how Irony is used and it makes the story funny—even though he is writing a revenge story/horror story. That is what is so brilliant about this story. Be sure to use outside sources about Poe’s education.
