... Pre 1900 prose stories : Analysis of "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe and "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W.Jacobs In this assignment I am going to analyse "The Black Cat" written by Edger Allen Poe, and, "The Monkeys Paw" written by W.W. Jacobs. These two short stories are superb examples of Victorian short horror stories. I am going to compare the narratives with the horror genre from the Victorian period and from at the present time and take note on changes of attitudes in generations. My past experiences of horror films and stories are when I have being told them at sleepovers and around campfires. Also I have read them books and at the cinemas to watch a horror film. Both horror films and stories create an atmosphere of jeopardy, peril and fear that captures the tension intended. The director in films achieves this tension by using spine chilling music
