10. Finally, there are several types of blindness on display in this story. Obviously, the two cats were

partially blind, but the narrator also suffered from a

sort of blindness. How so? What warning might Poe be

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "The black cat" by Edgar Alan Poe.

In this story the author makes a strong use of symbolism to present the narrator's behavior. Like cats, the narrator was partially blind, although his eyes were fully functioning. This blindness was stimulated by alcohol, which the narrator used frequently, thus not allowing him to have a good perception of what was happening in his life, even his beloved, he was unable to see.

Poe shows how, despite not being influenced by alcohol, the narrator remains blind, this time by guilt, which does not allow him to see things clearly to the point of following his own life.

In this case, Poe shows how blindness goes beyond the eyes and can affect the soul.
