Literary Techniques

Foreshadowing
        The narrator notices the rats when he is on the wooden table. He mentions that they left a portion of the meat for him. This implys that they have already eating the meat meaning that they like it. this is foreshadowing the fact that they will be used to eat the meat.

Symbols
        The pit is representing a quick and easy death. All the narrator has to do is jump down and that it. The pendulum on the other hand represents a slower and more painful death as he is held down while is slices through his skin.
