Our test fot the story "murders in the rue morgue"was in an essay form. Basically, there are nothing much we could actually explain about as we didn't really focus on the story itself. Though, lucky us; we manage to get some interesting themes that are related to the story from google search.
The themes that i found quite interesting from the net is:
1. Cunning and cleverness:
Dupin distinguishes himself from the police because, while they are both analytical and cunning in their way, Dupin has the imagination to think outside of conventional assumptions.
Dupin's genius for observation is incompatible with social interaction.He uses human emotion as evidence in his chains of reasoning rather than as a means for bonding with others.
2. Justice and judgement:
Dupin's desicion to take on the case to repay a favor from Le Bon shows that he believes more strongly in honor than in justice.
3. Awe and amazement:
The narrator's astonishment gives a plot level reason for why Dupin needs to talk through his solution carefully and slowly. It signals the readers that they are suppose to similarly in awe of what Dupin is doing. It increases the suspense. The gap between the narrator's understanding and Dupin's keeps us on edge, as we wonder what Dupin knows that the narrator does not know.
