Inventing the backstory of “The Man of the Crowd”
The first detective fiction ever, Poe’s “The Man of the Crowd” is, in many ways, a blank slate, upon which the reader might project his or her own significances. Compose a short screenplay/sсrіpt, inventing an origin (and/or outcome) for the titular Man of the Crowd. Where did he come from? How did he become the way he is? Did he live a normal life before his addiction set in? What does he do during the day? What happens after the actions of Poe’s short story? Each student will be assigned a random 19th-century professional that must be incorporated into the titular Man’s backstory/origin story. MY 19TH CENTURY PROFESSION IS A RAT CATCHER
