FAMU The Imp of the Perverse Reflective Essay
Description
In the “Imp of the
Perverse” Poe divides his story into two parts: an essay and a short
story. In the short story, the narrator confesses to his crime without
coercion. In the essay, the narrator argues that even the intellectual or
logical man has missed one’s propensity to inflict harm on one’s self, “We
have suffered its existence to escape our senses, solely through want of
belief–of faith;. . .This idea of it has never occurred to us, simply because
of its supererogation. We saw no need of the impulse–for the propensity”.
