As we shall see, "The Pit and the Pendulum" diegetically (the telling of a story by a narrator who summarises events in the plot and comments on the conversations, thoughts, etc., of the characters) frames Poe's distinctively modern and poetic sense of beauty, situating aesthetic beauty in direct proximity to the shocking experience of the traumatic encounter with death.
