Answer ALL of the questions below.
Question #1: The orangutan in Edgar Allan Poes Murders in the Rue Morgue has long been a divisive topic in Poe scholarship. [Follow the link for a humorous take on this topic: When Academics Get Pissed: https://imgur.com/gallery/lnOAS] All jokes aside, some critics have pointed to the recurring figures of blackness in Poes works (e.g. The Raven, The Black Cat, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket and of course, Murders in the Rue Morgue) as an indication that Poe was conflicted about issues of race and how to define blackness (in relation to whiteness). Poe is also known to have had a troubled sense of himself as a southern aristocrat and had been invested in clarifying the separation between humanity and animality. Taking all of this into consideration, how do you think the orangutan should be read in Poes Murders in the Rue Morgue and why?
