Pit and PendulumAuthorErdgar Allan PoeCountryUnited StatesLanguageEnglishGenre (s) HorrorShort StoryPublished in Gift: Christmas and New Year's Gift for typePeriodicalPublisherCarey and HartMedia typePrintPublication date1842 Pit and Pendulum is a story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual Gift: Christmas and New Year's Gift for 1843. The story of the torment experienced by the prisoner of the , although Po distorts historical facts. The story's narrator describes his experience of being tortured. The story is particularly effective in inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy emphasis on feelings such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many Po stories that help the supernatural. Traditional elements set in popular horror tales at the time followed, but the critical reception was mixed. The tale has been adapted for the film several times. The plot summary of the unnamed narrator appeared before the sinister judges of the Spanish Inquisition. Neither gives any explanation as to why he is there, or the charges on which he is currently on trial. In front of him are seven tall white candles on the table, and as they burn, his hopes for survival are also diminishing. He is sentenced to death, after which he faints and then wakes up to find himself in a completely dark room. At first, the prisoner thinks that he is locked in a grave, but then discovers that he is in the cell. He decides to examine the camera by placing a piece of his robe against the wall so he can count the pace around the room, but he faints before he can measure the entire perimeter. When he wakes up, he finds food and water nearby. He tries to measure the cell again, and discovers that the perimeter measures a hundred steps. When crossing the room, he trips to the hem of his robe and falls, his chin landing on the edge of a deep pit. He realizes that if he hadn't tripped, he would have fallen into this pit. After losing consciousness again, the narrator discovers that the prison is lightly lit and that it is tied to a wooden frame on the back facing the ceiling. Above he is depicted by Father Time, with a razor-sharp pendulum measuring one leg from the horn to the horn suspended from him. The pendulum swings back and forth and slowly descends, designed to kill the narrator eventually. However, he is able to attract rats to him by smearing his connection with the meat left for him to eat. Rats chew through the straps and it slides free just before the pendulum can start to slice into the chest. The pendulum is removed into the ceiling, and the walls become red-hot and begin to move inwards, forcing it slowly to the center of the room and the pit. When he loses his last foothold and begins to to topple, he hears the roar of voices and pipes, the walls are removed, and his hand pulls him to safety. The French army captured the city of Toledo, and the Inquisition fell into the hands of enemies. No Authenticity Po makes no attempt to accurately describe the activities of the Spanish Inquisition, and occupies a significant dramatic license with a broader history, a premise in this story. The rescue is led by Napoleonic General Lasal (who, however, did not command the French occupation of Toledo), and this puts the action during the war on the peninsula (1808-14), centuries after the height of the Spanish Inquisition. The complex of this history has no historical parallels in the activities of the Spanish Inquisition in any century, let alone the nineteenth, when only four people were convicted under Charles III and Charles IV. The Inquisition, however, was abolished during the French intervention (1808-13). The primary source of the pendulum torture method is one paragraph in the foreword to the 1826 book The History of the Spanish Inquisition by the Spanish priest, historian and activist Juan Antonio Llorente. Referring to the sub-cy account of a prisoner released from the Underground in 1820, who allegedly described the method of torture of the pendulum. Most modern sources dismiss this as a fantasy. One theory is that Llorente misunderstood the story he had heard; the prisoner was referring to another common torture by the Inquisition, a strap (garrucha) in which the prisoner is bound with his hands behind his back and lifted from the floor with a rope tied to his hands. This method was also known as the pendulum. The Latin epigraph puts the story before, describing it as a quatrain made up for the market gate that will be erected on the site of the Jacobin Club House in . The epigraph was not Po's invention; such an inscription was reported, no later than 1803, as was composed with the intention (perhaps facetious) of having it placed on the site, and it appeared, without attribution, as a trifle item in the 1836 Southern Literary Messenger, a periodic publication to which Poe contributed. However, it does not appear that the market was ever built for its intended purpose. Charles Baudelaire, a French poet who translated Po's works into French and who viewed Po as an inspiration, said that there was no gate in the building on the site of the Old Jacobean Club and therefore no inscription. The analysis of The Pit and the Pendulum is a study of the impact of terror on the narrator, starting with the first line, which suggests that he is already suffering from the anxiety of death (I was sick - sick to death with this long agony). However, there is an implicit irony regarding black-and-custne judges having their lips whiter than the sheet on which I trace these words, which shows that he survived and writes the story after the events. Unlike much of Po's work, the story has no supernatural elements. The realism of history is amplified By focusing on reporting sensations: a without air and unlit, the narrator is subject to thirst and hunger, he is teeming with rats, a razor-sharp pendulum threatens to slice it and closing the walls red-hot. The narrator experiences the blade mostly through the sound as he is gesthing while swinging. Po emphasizes this element of sound with words such as surcingle, cessation, crescent, and scimitar, and various forms of literary consonance. Inspiration Po followed the established model of terror writing of his time, often seen in Blackwood magazine (a formula he mocks in a predicament). These stories, however, often focus on chance or personal revenge as a source of terror. Po may have been inspired to focus on targeted impersonal torture, particularly Juan Antonio Llorente's History of the Spanish Inquisition, first published in 1817. It was also suggested that Po's yama was inspired by the translation of the Koran (According referred to the Koran also in Al-Aaraaf and Istrafel) by George Sale. By was familiar with Sale, and even mentioned him by name in a note in his story Thousand and the second tale of Scheherazade. Seyz's translation was part of the commentary and, in one of these notes, refers to an allegedly common form of torture and execution, throwing people into the glowing pit of fire from where he had the opprobrious name of the Lord of the Pit. In the Koran itself, in Sura (chapter) 85, Heavenly Signs, excerpt reads: ... Damned were the tricks of the pit, the fire comes with fuel ... and they did not suffer from them for any other reason, but because they believed in a mighty, glorious God. Po is also believed to have been influenced by William Madford's iron cloak, a tale of an iron torture chamber that shrinks through mechanical action and eventually crushes the victim inside. Apparently, the idea of reducing the camera in Pete and the Pendulum came up after Madford's story was published in Blackwood magazine in 1830. The publication and response of The Gift Cover, Carey and Hart, Philadelphia, 1843. First appearance in The Gift, Carey and Hart, Philadelphia, 1843 . The pit and pendulum was included in the gift: Christmas and New Year's gift for 1843, edited by Eliza Leslie and published by Carey and Hart. It was slightly revised for republicans in the May 17, 1845 issue of the Broadway Journal. William Butler Yates has generally criticized Po, calling him vulgar. In particular, from The Pit and the Pendulum he said: I don't think it has a permanent literary value... Analyze the pit and pendulum and you will find an appeal to the nerves of tasteless physical affrightments. Adaptation See also: Edgar Allan Poe in TELEVISION and Film Multiple Movies the story was produced, including the early French-language film Le Puits et le pendule in 1909 by Henri Despontena. The first English-language adaptation was in 1913 under the direction of Alice Guy-Blace. In the 1935 film The Raven starring Boris Karloff and White Lugosi in the dungeon under the house of the obsessed Dr. Vollin plays Lugosi. The 1961 film The Pit and the Pendulum, directed by Roger Corman starring Vincent Price and Barbara Steele, as well as the other in the film Cycle Po, bears minimal resemblance to Po's story: the title torture machine makes its appearance only in the last 10 minutes of the film. The reason for this is that the story was too short to be made into a feature film. The plan was to have a third act that would be faithful to Po, while the other two would be written in a way that the cast and crew hoped would be similar to Po's plot. The novelization of the film was written by Lee Sheridan adapted from a screenplay by Richard Matheson in 1961 and published by Lancer Books in paperback. In 1964, the French film The Pit and the Pendulum was directed by Alexander Asstrua and stars Maurice Rhone. In Flintstones season 5, episode 8 of Doctor Evil has Fred and Barney threatening the pendulum torture device until Barney discovers that he can use the blade to cut the binding on his wrists. In 1967, the West German film adaptation of Po's story titled Bloody Demon was directed by Harald Rein and stars Christopher Lee. In 1970, Vincent Price included a solo rant of history in an anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's Evening. In a 1970 episode of Penelope Pittstop's Dangers of Penelope, entitled London City of Betrayal, the hooded claws captured Penelope and tried to kill her with a pendulum that swings lower and lower, as in Po's story. In 1983, the Czech surrealist Jan Schwankovacher made a 15-minute short film called The Pendulum, a Pit and Hope based on this story and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's Torture of Hope. This is a fairly faithful adaptation of both stories, featuring a unique perspective of the first-person camera and segments produced in the trademark zwankmier stop-motion and cut-out animation. Most of the decoration was made by his wife Eva Shvaokmayerova. In 1989, the first episode of the fifth season of the American series MacGyver shows the main character, tied to the alleged victim of a pendulum similar to Po. In 1991, a film version of the story directed by Stuart Gordon with Lance Henriksen in the title role was released. The plot was changed to a love story set in in 1492. In 2006, an award-winning stop-motion animated adaptation of the story was produced under the Ray Harryhausen Presents banner. 2009 horror film directed by David DeCoteau Bears similar to the original story, but, like the 1961 version, uses a large swinging pendulum in the penultimate scene. The film follows a group of university students who attend the Institute of Hypnotherapy lorded by a more sinister hypnotist who wants to use students to experiment with the possibility of breaking the pain threshold. The 2012 horror film The Raven starring Edgar Allan Poe in the title role contains several reconstructions of Poe's horror stories. Included is a scene where the script The Pit and the Pendulum is recreated and successfully kills its victim. In 2013, guitarist Buckethead released an ecphrasic performance of The Pit and the Pendulum on an album titled The Pit. The 2015 animated anthology Extraordinary Tales includes The Pit and the Pendulum, narrated by Guillermo del Toro. References - Llorente, Juan Antonio (1826). History of the Spanish Inquisition.
