        <description><![CDATA[This story of Poe's is more of an adventure/mystery tale than a horror tale like many of his other stories.  The mood is also just that; the reader feels like there is a good mystery to be solved, and is along for the ride, engaged in enjoying the details of the mystery as they are revealed.
Going along with the theme above, there is no clear-cut antagonist; the antagonist is possibly not a character, but an assumption.  The narrator assumes...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is one of Poe's great mysteries for me because it uses logical deduction to find a treasure.  The narrator is recalling a story of his friend Dr. Legrand.  They met by accident, but became friends and visited together often.  Legrand finds a &quot;gold bug&quot; and draws a picture of it on some parchment.  Further along in the story the Narrator and Legrand find Captain Kidd's hidden treasure.  It is then that Legrand describes in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[William Legrand: He is a well-educated man but had fallen on hard times and is poor when the story begins. He chooses to live isolated from the world in a small hut he built on Sullivan's Island, not too far from Charleston, South Carolina. He has sudden mood swings, alternating between enthusiasm and depression. His servant and the narrator thinks he may be insane because he was bitten by a gold bug. He's very intelligent as he's able to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["The Gold Bug" is one of Poe's most popular stories.  It becomes a story of mystery and a treasure hunt.  Briefly, WIlliam Legrand, a sort of a recluse, finds a Gold Beatle next to a shipwreck.  Upon trying to draw the Beatle on a piece of paper also taken from the shipwreck, Legrand discoveres other markings.  From these markings, Legrand deduces that there is a buried treasure, buried by the notorious Captain Kidd.  He solves the cryptogram,...]]></description>
