Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English -
Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, Friedrich-Alexander University
Erlangen-Nuremberg (Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: In
this paper the author analyzes two of Poe's detective stories: The
Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Purloined Letter. The focus will
be on an analysis concerning the ratiocination - the way of
deductive and inductive reasoning - performed by Dupin, the
protagonist detective. Furthermore, the author would like to
present the question of whether Dupin really arrives at his
conclusions by mere ratiocination and the process of reasoning or
whether there are other things involved. Before the author delves
into this problem though, she would like to present a short history
of the crime story with Poe as the "inventor" of the detective
story in the center. After that follows a short description and
demonstration of the characteristics of Poe's detective stories as
well as a characterization of the protagonist, detective Dupin.
Before she concludes the paper, she compares the Dupin stories to
modern detective fiction that can be found in television
programming.
