Krátky popis
"The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan
Poe and first published in 1842. The story is about the torments
endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews
historical facts. The narrator of the story is deemed guilty for an
unnamed crime and put into a completely dark room. He passes out
while trying to determine the size of the room. When he wakes up,
he realizes there is a large, deep pit in the middle of the room.
He loses consciousness again and awakens strapped on his back,
unable to move more than his head. He soon realizes there is a
large blade-like pendulum hanging above him, slowly getting closer
to cutting through his chest. He finds a way to escape but the
walls of his prison start to move and close in on him, pushing him
closer and closer to falling into the pit.The story is especially
effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy
focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike
many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural. The
traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the
time are followed but critical reception has been mixed.
