The Black Cat by Adgar Allan Poe is cloaked with athrilling air within which violence and murder are written in a typical manner that the author favors. However, shifting attention to the “wife” hidden in the mist of horror, readers can figure out a panoramic view of American women in the first half of the 19th century. She is silent, mindless, and ignorant, with a destiny stirring readers' deeply regret and thought. Focusing on the “wife” in the story, a new explanation of The Black Cat can be made by unveiling her characters from the female perspective.
