Description
"Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1845. The story is a satirical take on the psychiatric treatment methods of the time and centers around the titular characters, Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, who serve as the inspiration for how this particular mental asylum is run. The story follows a visitor who tours the asylum and witness the unorthodox methods employed by the doctor, ultimately leading to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. It is a classic example of Poe's dark and twisted sense of humor, as well as his fascination with the macabre and the abnormal.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5744894/advertisement
