"For God's sake", is a saying usually used when something goes wrong. However, when writers Stephen King and Edga Allen Poe use it in their stories, the meaning shifts from that of exasperation, to something more along the lines of revenge, success, and finitude. This is because when King and Poe use it, the protagonists of their stories have just finished burying their respective victims, leaving them to die of suffocation, dehydration or a series of horrible ailments. King's story is "Dolans Cadilac," the tragic story of a man who takes revenge on his wife's killer. While Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is the sinister story of a man who exacts his revenge on his friend for insulting him, although the reader never learns what the friend did to deserve such a cruel fate. Overall both are interesting in a twisted sort of story way and have unique characteristics so they are great stories, one writer is clearly better than the other, Stephen King. Although no one can deny that Edgar Allen Poe is a good writer. “The Cask of Amontillado” boasts a sense of darkness “Its walls had been lined with human remains” and madness “They echoed (her screams) and exceeded in volume.” Yet it lacks the emotional color wheel of "Dolan's Cadilac" showing pain "'She was in pieces' I croaked 'I loved her and she was in pieces'" and this makes the reader feel sorry for Robinson. On the other hand when Robinson's crazy and sinister side "'Who's there?' “I” said “But I'm not the help you need Dolan,” so this forces the reader to feel pity for Dolan or a sick sense of gratification that Robinson's plan is working So from pain to left to a sense of calm as the story ends with Robinson saying "". The emotional role......in the middle of the card......han "The Cask of Amontillado". by Edgar Allen Poe.Both writers, through the use of imagery, attempt to transport their readers to a burning desert ("Dolan's Cadilac") and the dark, dank catacombs of Europe. Although both Poe and King succeed to some extent, as already discussed, King's use of imagery surpassed Poe's Equally important is King's development of his character, it is King and not Poe who provides a story and motif that makes. the least horrific act.Yet one cannot help but notice the strong similarities between the two stories. Both have a theme that revolves around the idea of ​​how cruel a seemingly normal human being can be and how the reader can find themselves anticipating the "sprint for the net." Overall King and Poe, while similar in style, each have their own key elements that make them great.
