The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe - 3

  I was often angry and violent. I began to shout at my wife, and I even started to hit her. My animals, too, felt the change in me. I stopped taking care of them and sometimes I was even cruel to them. But I was never cruel to Pluto. As time passed, my disease grew worse, and soon even Pluto was not safe from my violence.

  one night I arrived home late. I was very, very drunk. When Pluto saw me, he tried to run away from me, and this made me angry. I caught him by his neck and shook him. He, in his fright, bit me on the hand. At once, a wild, terrible anger filled me, and I could feel nothing except burning hate. Slowly I took a knife from my pocket, opened it, and then carefully cut out one of Pluto's eyes from its socktet. I shake today as I write these words down. Every time I remember that day. I still feel sadness and pain.

 

서서히 사건이 전개되고 있죠. 주인공이 너무 잔인하단 생각이군요. 감정이 격렬할 때는 여러분도 그런 감정을 느끼면서 번역을 해보세요. 그래야 감정이입이 되어 실감이 나겠죠. 소설이기에 격한 감정은 격한 감정을 유발할 수 있도록 해야합니다.
