I'm doing a research paper (due 3/11/03) and I need four short stories. The stories so far are "The Cask of Amontilado", "The Tell-Tale Heart", and "The Black Cat". I need a fourth where the story is from the narrator's point of view, like the other ones. I want to show how the narrator's go insane by the end of the story. Someone please help me!!!

How about one where the narrator temporarily loses it but fights back to overcome? This highlights the issue better than the tales where the guy is pathological from the getgo or under the influence."The Pit and the Pendulum." "Ligeia" is more complex since it misdirects you to Ligeia instead of the narrator, as does "Berenice" and "Morella" where the narrator also has a "problem" with obsession.
