Three pages?

[edit]

In the introduction, I'm not sure where the claim that "At just over three pages" comes from. It's definitely Poe's shortest story but the length changes based on print area of the page, font and size, etc. It's length is important, but it originally printed on only two pages in the 1840s (I've seen the original publication) so I think it would make more sense to use that number rather than an arbitrary contemporary anthologized edition or something. I'm gonna go ahead and change that. --Midnightdreary 16:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the central theme of the story?

Is this an attempt at requesting homework help? If so, that is not the purpose of this page. --Midnightdreary (talk) 15:00, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
