A review by yesminebraiek
Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe
2.0
Well, this is the first time that I didn't get what Edgar Poe wanted to say.
Let me start with the good things first. I loved the gothic style in this short tale and it made things darker, creeper and suspenseful.
However, I didn't quite catch what the author wants to say, I found myself struggling to come out with hidden meanings as I always do with Edgar's readings.
Another point that made things different is how the narrator is aware of his condition and his mental illness. A rationale mad man! that didn't sound right to me. I prefer the other stories and tales where the narrator is completely mad but still lives normally as if nothing ever happened.
I guess I will try to re-read this another time, maybe then I can get my mind wrapped up about the whole story and I will be able to figure it out.
