Paper Summary:

This paper examines the recurring theme of premature burial in three of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories: "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Premature Burial" and "The Cask of Amontillado."

From the Paper:

"Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and poems are marked by dark and morbid mood as he is largely considered the father of the psychological thriller and detective story. This macabre tone is perhaps best evident in the works that feature premature burial. Indeed several of Poe's stories including "The Premature Burial," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" feature characters that all confront the undeniable terror of being buried alive."
