aid that because he knew that he had nothing to fear because of the way he cleaned up.Setting is the time and place in the story. The time in this was mostly at night in the chamber of the old man. “ Every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept.” This was showing when and where he was doing this at. “ At four o clock the bell rang.” The people at the door where cops coming to investigate. The setting reflects the mood by show when and where he did things he did.So in conclusion the mood in this short story is strong. By they ways Poe used his words in imagery, dialogue, and setting. The imagery used to direct the mood was by showing the metal picture in your head by strong use of words. The dialogue was when he came in contact to kill the old man then when he comfiest to the cops. Setting was how he showed the dark room in the middle of the night when he stalked the man. The mood in this story made it different because Poe used graphic words and strong mental pictures....
