Berenice

Edgar Allan Poe’s “Berenice” interprets the story of a man who lives with his cousin and has a relationship with her, both of them having illnesses and Egaeus having an obsessive disorder which leads to a tragic accident with Berenice who had been buried alive. This short story’s tone is a suspenseful and morose particularly before Egaeus finds out what he had done to Berenice, there is also situational and dramatic irony considering he creates a character who its literally born in a library and

enhance the mood of “Berenice” Famous author and poet Edgar Allan Poe is well known for his writing of ill-minded scenarios and grotesque circumstances. Poe, one of America’s most ailing writers, made use of many different literary devices to develop his popular, eerie, and suspenseful mood.

Adea-Eurydice, and Berenice were born into power but still could have lived comfortably, without any true control. They decided to use what they had and use unfavorable situations to their advantage. These women were uncharacteristic for their time but set the stage for later women.

The similarities between the two different versions are a bit easier to comprehend than the differences, because they both essentially follow the same plot. In this essay, the different and similar points within both stories will be compared and contrasted thoroughly. In contrast to the movie, Frankie attempts
