Last Friday's selection for Poe Fridays was The Devil in the Belfry. If you have yet to read this selection or would like to refresh your memory, you can find a copy of the short story here.
If I had to summarize this story, this is what I would have to say: A strange outsider comes to town, aggressively makes a change to the village's routine, and puts it all into utter chaos, where it may still be today. Is this what everyone else gets from it? I'm just not sure I completely understand this one. Was there supposed to be a point or moral? I don't know . . . I just felt it to be . . . well, weird!
Next week: Morella (and, hopefully, I will actually post this one on time!!)
Poe Fridays is hosted by Kristen over at We Be Reading. For Kristen's original post, please click here.
I don't think there was a point either. Elizabeth said that it was actually a political and social commentary but being over 150 years later, I think it's a bit lost on us!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely lost on me!! :)
