First Body Paragraph:

The mood in the story is very mysterious and it makes the reader wonder why Edgar Allen Poe used the descriptive words he used. “I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed that so no night shone out.” “His room was black as pitch with the thick darkness.” In the first quote, the author tells you how he wants no light to show in the room and he wants to be in a dark place. The second quote tells you that his room is very dark and the thickness of the darkness is very spooky just how the author describes it in the story. I think the mood is very helpful because you can picture the imagery in your head much easier.
