answer:

i don't think so, because:

our narrator is such a wreck, it's hard not to feel sorry for him. he's nervous ("very dreadfully nervous"), paranoid, and physically and mentally ill. he doesn't know the difference between the "real" and the "unreal," and seems to be completely alone and friendless in the world. we suspect that he rarely sleeps.

oh yeah: and he's also a murderer.

maybe this explains why he doesn't share his name, or any other identifying characteristics. he wants us to know what he did, but not where to find him. we actually have precious little to go on in discussing his character, and we have to do lots of investigation and reading between the lines to come up with possibilities.

before we explore some of those possibilities, we should clear up a fine point. poe doesn't explicitly tell us if the narrator is male or female. the only reason we feel comfortable calling the narrator "he" is these lines: "you fancy me mad. madmen know nothing" (3) (our italics). this isn't one hundred percent proof that the narrator is male, so it's important to consider the possibility that the narrator is , for now, we are clinging to those lines to get out of having to use the awkward "he/she."

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
