In "The Black Cat", by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator's senseless violence supports the theme that all people have a wicked side. The passage from the story that best shows this is D. "...hung it because I knew that it had loved me, and because I felt it had given me no reason of offence...". In this passage, the narrator states that he will hang the cat, but he has no reason to do it. The cat has loved him and has not harmed him in any way. So it is the wicked side of every human being that wants to hang the cat.

this is too much for 25 pts. and brainliest

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
