Notes

"The Pit and the Pendulum" is a chilling short story by Edgar Allan Poe, known for its intense atmosphere and psychological terror. Set during the Spanish Inquisition, it follows an unnamed narrator who finds themselves imprisoned and subjected to horrifying tortures. The story unfolds as the narrator navigates a series of nightmarish trials, including a descent into a dark pit and a deadly pendulum swinging ever closer. Poe's mastery lies in his ability to evoke a sense of claustrophobia and impending doom, making "The Pit and the Pendulum" a classic example of Gothic literature and a haunting exploration of fear and survival.
