This passage from The Murders in the Rue Morgue from page 67 to 69 by Edgar Allan Poe, is mainly a monologue of the main character, who is not the narrator, Dupin. Previously in the story, Dupin was very calm and calculating, all the information we get about him comes from the narrator's descriptions. This passage is where he finally reveals his thoughts on solving the case and asserts his superior intellect. In this passage, Poe uses different personal pronouns, word choices, summaries of thoughts, and the narrator's interjection to highlight Dupin's superior intellect. Through the use of personal pronouns, Poe separates Dupin's superior intellect from that of the narrator and the average person. At the beginning of this monologue, Dupin remarks: “You will no doubt say… but that is not in the case of reason. » Here, the use of the word "you" separates him from the narrator. He pointedly points out that although the narrator and Dupin associate, they are not on the same level mentally. Later, Dupin declared: “You will see… I moved the question. » Once again, it is obvious that he must distinguish his thoughts from those of the narrator. Dupin focuses his attention on his new thoughts and introduces his change. Using “you want” and “I have” successively, as Poe does, emphasizes that Dupin is always one step ahead. Dupin takes charge and, even if he has to push him in the right direction, he is certain that the narrator will follow his reasoning. This is evidenced by his use of the word “will”, a word which leaves no doubt. He moves from there to saying, “Now let's go back inside the room. Let's look at appearances here. The move from a distinct distinction between the two to the inclusion of...... middle of paper ......to understand - men, sometimes, find themselves on the edge of powerless memory, at the end, , to remember. Juxtaposing this thought process with Dupin's provides the reader with a strong comparison. The narrator is the average person to whom Dupin's intelligence must be compared and measured. Overall, the devices Poe uses in this passage from The Murders in the Rue Morgue highlight Dupin's superior intellect and detective work in this case. He uses personal pronouns to distinguish himself from ordinary people and the narrator. Additionally, he selects words that promote this feeling of superiority. In addition to this, he provides a map of the evidence he needs to teach to clarify his point of view. During all of this, there is an interjection of thought from the narrator that provides a juxtaposition to Dupin's intense thought process..
