What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe s use

Answer and Explanation:

Although "the black cat", like all of Poe's works, is a great example of Gothic literature, we can find some misunderstandings or inaccuracies that may give the wrong impression about this genre of literature.

One of these misunderstandings is the fact that Gothic literature deals only with mental and personal problems of the protagonists. That's because in Poe's work, the protagonist's problems and discomforts are totally related to his mental imbalance, but Gothic literature can open up external problems, which are not, in fact, caused by psychological problems or imbalances of the characters.

Another misunderstanding is predictability. In Poe's work, horror is a strong element, but suspense is a weak element since we know that the character will decay more and more with the passage of the narrative, which weakens the suspense and can generalize it.

There are any reasons in which both men and women could become victims of gender based violence.  There is the issue of sexuality, sexism, each are subject to rape although less common in the male population.
Those would be my top three.
Hope this helps! If you need anymore help or further explanation just let me know!! :)
