Detective mystery is one of the most popular literary genre in which mostly a crime is presented and reviewed in order to identify the perpetrator there are several classic features. That require a story to be a detective mystery.
The theory that superficially persuasive evidence is essentially meaningless is often used in detective stories. It is often believed that the clues from which a potential answer to the mystery can be observed are given to the audience around the same time as the stalker receives them, or that the detective solves the mystery by fair reading. When the detective collects them and deduces the answer to the mystery based on a rational explanation of these answers. The purpose of detective mysteries is let the audience participate in and enjoy the process of solving a puzzle. Investigate spiritual fulfillment at the conclusion. Take into account the human experience and how to overcome or prevent human problems.
Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," released in April 1841, was the first crime novel. The career of investigator has only recently emerged, and Poe is widely believed to have been inspired by Franc;ois-Eugene Vidocq's Memoires (1828-29), who established the In Paris, the world's first investigation branch was created in 1817. C. Auguste, Poe's fictitious French investigator, Dupin also played in various other novels, "The Mystery of Marie Roget" 1845 and "The Purloined Letter" 1845. The mystery novel quickly grew to story length. Along with the annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards for excellence, the Mystery Writers of an American expert association created in 1945 to raise the quality of mystery fiction, including the mystery novel, has had a significant impact.
The Murders if Rue Morgue, incorporates more basic elements of fantasy than some of Poe's other short fiction and it was his first storey of thought and reasoning. Among all these fundamental characteristics are three core ideas: (1) The assassination takes place in a closed room with no obvious exit. This theory is generalised (though essentially retained) in later crime novels and is used where the protagonist places the crime scene in a closed setting. That's also, on a train, where the murderer is one of the passengers. on an island, where the murderer would legally be present at all times; or on an estate, where the killer must be one of the people living there. In this case, since there is There is no means for the murderer to escape, officers are utterly perplexed.
Hidden agenda, connection, as well as other circumstantial facts all point to an innocent individual. The skilled detective is often pulled into a crime by a peer or relative being wrongly charged, as well as Le Bon who "once made me a service for which I am not ungrateful." As a result, Dupin is pulled in the case, according to the detective's dedication to the accused, he uses an unorthodox way to achieve the resolution. We said earlier that all of the hints should have been there, However, the appeal of detective fiction lies in the unexpected ending, which will become reasonable only in hindsight. The story's theme is self-explanatory: the killings actually occur on the Morgue's main street . Poe expresses some of the opinions mentioned in above story's introduction paragraph regarding the detective's desire to be considerate more than the average person and, however, to learn what to investigate. Even the most innocuous action or gesture will always show more than the magnifier, which Dupin seldom uses despite the fact that the police depend on one to make them investigate crimes. Furthermore, the exceptional investigator must be able to draw the appropriate conclusions about what he sees. In this case, creativity has become the most critical part of solving a case.
The protagonist first encountered Monsieur , Dupin while searching for a rare document in a library; they quickly became companions and lived an old home. This practice is replicated in later crime fiction; the great detective and his companion would always share a certain living quarters. The author then illustrates Dupin's genius intellectual capacity The author is casually walking down the street one night, dreaming about some other actor, when Dupin replies without the author actually asking something. Then Dupin describes how, using the rational of their recent discussion and by analyzing particular behaviour in his friend's gestures, He was successful and determine that his friend had reached a firm determination Just soon afterwards, the newspaper reports on two "extraordinary homicides." At 3 am on one night, "eight or ten" neighbours were awakened by a "succession of terrific shrieks" Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter, Mademoiselle Camille, live on the fourth floor. It took a while for the people to break through the entrance and doors that are sealed and when they hurried up to the first floor, they all noticed two voices. After that, there was quiet. When they arrived at the fourth floor and approached the room, they discovered it in a state of disarray. We are only provided the details of the assassination. The elderly woman's hair was drawn out of "thick hair," and her neck was slit so deeply through that if the policeman pulled up a body, the head came off. Her daughter was evidently strangled to death by the hands of an unbelievably strong man, and she was crammed up to the attic, head down. It must have required supernatural powers to place her there, for these brutal tugs were used to extract her. Since an associate of Dupin is convicted of the murders, but Dupin is granted consent to enter the surroundings, a scenario that is particularly intriguing given that the media say that the case is difficult to solve since a killer could not run from the locked, secured flat.
As soon as dupin started investigating the the case himself he looked into every from every singlr thing present in the apartment to all possible place outside the building, but as his investigation grew he started to realize that no human can kill some with brutality and ferocity. How could a human possess this kind of strength to kill two people like this, the he more found out the more curious he get he knew that this all scenario is not as simple as it seems there is much more to it which is present but nobody can see. Dupin then reveals to his mate, the writer, that the boot print was the same size as an Ourang-paw. Outang's Besides that, he has arranged for the holder to come and collect up his cat, claiming that it was discovered in a patch of woods far off the site of the crimes in order to avoid arousing the owner's concern. Besides that, he is certain that the creature belong to a sailor since he discovered a ribbon, tangled in an unusual manner that only Maltese sailors wear, at the base of the lightning bolt. After getting all the evidence he went to police and told them about everything he have discovered due to which the police was later able to solve the case. As dupin was smart enough to look into all aspects he was able find the real culprit which was not a human but an animal as he thought it would be.
Poe's first story was a lot different from other of his as mostly they include some kind of supernatural and are far away from reality such as one of his short story The Tell Tale heart.
Despite being one of Poe's shorter tales, it is a deep and, at points, vague examination of a man's fear. The plot is made more intense by the way it depicts the antagonist stalking his prey. The protagonist of the tell-tale heart tries to murder a wealthy elderly man that he appears to love.
The narrator doesn't explain why, but he does note that the old guy has one blue eye, which is very unsettling, the narrator explains a meticulous scheme for breaking into the old man's space for seven nights in a row, which is psychic conduct. When the narrator walks into the room at eight o'clock at night, the old man gets up and asks who is there, but the narrator does not reply.. The narrator waits for a long time and then eventually decides to turn on his lantern and the light shines directly to the old man's eye at that the narrator could hear the old man's heart beating which eventually becomes so clear that he thinks the neighbors will hear it, he removes his lantern and rushes into the room. the old man screams and the narrator moves the bed on the top of him, suffocating the old man. As an evidence of his insanity, he finally prevents his heart from pounding and ensures that the eye no longer bothers him. The narrator explains his cover-up as cutting the old man into bits and hiding them underneath the floor.
"I will, therefore, take occasion to assert that the higher powers of the reflective intellect are more decidedly and more usefully tasked by the unostentatious game of draughts than by a the elaborate frivolity of chess."( Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue: The Dupin Tales)
Not long the narrator finishes at 4am the door bell rings and 3 police officer who are responding to the neighbors complain to a screams enters the house and they sit above the floor where the narrator have hided the old man's body. The narrator started to hear the old man's heartbeat again and It grew louder and louder, but the cops doesn't appear to notice. Finally, the narrator cracks and tells the cops where the dead body is.
"I seemed to be upon the verge of comprehension, without the power to comprehend as men, at time, find themselves upon the brink of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember".(Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue: The Dupin Tales)
The eye itself represent perception and awareness as well as supernatural evil. Mental health recurs as the narrator attempts to convince the audience of sanity. In the telltale heart the plot revolves around a bizarre conspiracy to execute the ultimate crime. According to one reviewer, Paige Bynum, Poe writes the narrator in a manner that "help the audience to connect with the narrator. The plot's main conflict is that the hero murders the old man solely because he loathes the look in his eye. Since the adversary hasn't done something on intent to offend the character, this is an individual vs. self-fight. The dispute exists only in the narrator's mind. On the other side the murders of rue morgue revolves around the story of the protagonist who in search of finding the real culprit, his character resembles a lot with the best novel detective Sherlock holmes. He giftedly smart and intelligent and more of it he believes in himself. The story had much more suspense to it than Poe's other stories.
"Coincidences, in general, are great stumbling-blocks in the way of that class of thinkers who have been educated to know nothing of the theory of probabilities---that theory to which the most glorious objects of human research are indebted for the most glorious of illustration."( Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue - a C. Auguste Dupin Short Story)
Also many of his stories have somewhat similarities such as in The Raven the narrator soon senses an aura or the existence of angels, which, when mixed with the speaking eagle, cements the spiritual feeling. The Raven informs him that he'll never see his precious Lenore in heavens and that she will stay in his room always. Just like this in The Purloined Letter in which one of the central ideas is that the reality is often shrouded in plain view. Dupin, an investigator, is on a mission to locate a lost letter and learns how impossible it is to find when it is right out there in the open. Most of Poe's stories resemble each other like all of his stories have a gothic characteristics and dark setting. The search of truth. The starting of the stories is always intense and death is the main concept the story revolves around.
Also in the worst of mysteries the writer's visions, it gives us a taste of the future as it may be, a community in which decent males and females do not stop by and let the worst parts of modern nature prevail without challenge. It can address all of these facets of itself while also engaging the audience - and providing fun is one of its other strengths. However, the detective story has always valued characters over storyline, which may confuse some of its critics. True, this is not a common core principle: there are extent on which mysteries concern themselves with the nature of the suspect as compared to, say, the nuances of work psychology.
"I was deeply interested in the little family history which he detailed to me with all that candor which a Frenchman indulges whenever mere self is the theme."(Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue)
