I was horrified when Mr Saiful actually gives us a test on a story that we never touched before which is "The murders in the rue morgue". None of us in class knows and understand anything about the story. Basically, to admit it; none of us read through it fully. Though, of course as usual; we browse through the internet to get a full vision of what's the story about.
This is what i actually understood about the characters:
1. Monsieur C.Auguste Dupin:
Dupin is like the search engine that picks out what we know when we can't figure it out for ourselves.Dupin comes from a family that has fallen on hard times.He has a private income but still has to live on a tight budget.He doesn't have to work for a living but also doesn't have a social or political obligations of someone from an aristocratic background who still has lots of money.
2. The narrator:
He seems to be an empty character.He appears to spend all his time with Dupin.His sole task in this fictional world seems to be to catalougue everything Dupin says and does. The narrator is like Dupin's cheering section.
3. Ourang-Outang
Ourang-Outang is the most emotional of the emotional-he slashes a woman's throat because she won't let him shave her.
