The Purloined Letter BY Edgar Allan Poe

The Purloined Letter    


         The purloined letter written by Edgar Allan Poe . the short story represents the secret of someone. And it is a detective story. It is the third of the three stories featuring the detective Auguste Dupin these stories are considered to be important early forerunners of the modern story.


         The beginning of the story the unnamed narrator is meeting with the famous Parisian amateur detective Auguste Dupin and discussing some of his most celebrated cases. When they are joined by the perfect of the police, a man known only as G- the perfect has a case he would like to discuss with Dupin. It’s my point of view the short story “the purloined letter” is all about the it’s kind of political game. The hidden identity of someone.


         “ The purloined letter” can open discussions regarding the talking of power, the position of the monarch and of women in 19th century society the nature of deductive reasoning , and the literary convention of gothic double.
