Using Biographical and Comparative Historical Methods

Conclusion
After analysis, we can conclude that the character of "The Man" (narrator) of the story has the same character as Edgar Allan Poe. Both got married early, have pets, and are alcoholics. Poe reflects part of his life on Black Cat. The author's life thus influences the work he writes
