"But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded by the interference into a rage more demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain."
This quote used by Poe allows us to experience the thought of a serial killer and allows us to see how one feels when doing unrighteous actions. When the narrator described this scene it shows how this story of his fits perfectly in to the genre of Gothic horror. By using very vivid words they capture the Gothic quality of death and darkness. Also with the narrator acting upon unrighteous actions this also can be an quality of a Gothic horror with the theme of people not making morally right decisions
