                                                    1. the vital pulsations had not completely disappeared and the caresses of her loved one woke her up as she had been mistaken for dead

                                                    1. And because of that, he decided to remodel the family vault so as to admit of being readily opened from within.
                                                      1. There were arrangements also for the free admission of air and light, and convenient receptacles for food and water, within immediate reach of the coffin intended for my reception

                                                    3. Analysis
                                                      1. Poe is well known for this kind of stories, which always let us a message
                                                        1. There are moments when, even to the sober eye of Reason, the world of our sad Humanity may assume the semblance of a Hell- but the imagination of man is no Carathis, to explore with impunity its every cavern. Alas! the grim legion of sepulchral terrors cannot be regarded as altogether fanciful- but, like the Demons in whose company Afrasiab made his voyage down the Oxus, they must sleep, or they will devour us- they must be suffered to slumber, or we perish.
                                                          1. In the paragraph before we can take a look at the kind of thought that the writer had. facing a mental issue as Catalepsy is something which some people have to live with. Imagine living your life with the fear of felt unconscious and then being buried alive. How the narrator faced it and then how he could get over it was what amazed the most and showed us that we can always fight back.
