.... exaggerated tale. However, the narrator’s obsession with supernatural forces gives way for an almost evil presence; which asks the reader to question if any event could actually occur, as the narrator himself is not so sure. First of all, it is obvious to the reader that the root of all the narrator’s problems arise from his alcoholism; and he agrees that from this sole vice, he has “…experienced a radical alteration for the worse” (Poe 894).
