The Fall of the House of UsherNarrator- murderer who's purpose is not confession but desire to prove his sanity 2. Old Man- father of murderer who had an evil eye 4. The Black Cat The narrator begins with the remote past of his own childhood. He said that he was a sensitive boy that was teased a lot by his school mates. Then the narrator jumps forward in time to where he married his wife. She brought some pets into their home including a pet cat named Pluto. The narrator formed a strong bond with Pluto. But as time passed the narrator became a very strong drinker and his personality had changed. One night after drinking he hung the cat from a tree outside of his house. That night the house burned in a fire. The outline of a gigantic cat with a noose around its neck appeared on the one wall that remained standing.
