What is the plot diagram of the story of Edgar Allan Poe "The Black Cat?"

In the
of "," the unreliable narrator lays down some things he
feels readers should know about the story and himself as a person. He says that he has been
known since childhood for the "docility and humanity of [his] disposition" and has in
fact been teased by peers for how tender-hearted he is. He also loves animals and he and his
wife have had many, but none that he loved more than his black cat Pluto.

Now
the events of the rising action start to unfold. The narrator
begins drinking too much, causing him to inflict violence on his wife and pets. Eventually he
even hurts his beloved Pluto. At one point the narrator grabs Pluto, thinking the cat has been
avoiding him, and Pluto bites his hand in fear. The narrator takes a penknife and cuts out one
of Pluto's eyes, then hangs him in the neighbor's garden.

This is where the
story is harder to plot, as it could be said to have two climaxes. In
one, there is a fire in the narrator's house the night after he kills Pluto. He
loses everything, and the only wall left standing has the image of a hanged cat on it.
More rising action events happen: the narrator and his wife get a
new cat, who is missing an eye and has markings that look like a gallows on its breast. The cat
is very affectionate, which the narrator comes to despise, feeling that the cat has some sort of
revenge plot.

In climax two, the narrator nearly
trips on the cat one day and tries to kill it with an ax. His wife prevents him, so he kills her
instead.

During the events of the falling
action, the narrator buries his wife in the cellar walls. The cat has vanished,
which pleases the narrator. Eventually the police come and search the house.

At the resolution of the story, the man's crimes are
reveal. Leading the police through their search of the house, he raps on the wall where his wife
is buried with his cane (through guilt? or ?). Immediately there is a scream and, when they tear
down the wall, the police discover the wife's body and the black cat, alive. The narrator is
hauled off to jail, where he writes this story, the night before he is set to be
executed.
