The trait of Gothic literature that this passage from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" has in common with the poem "The Raven" by the same author is:
D. An exploration of a human's inner torment.
Both passages delve into the psychological turmoil and torment experienced by the narrators. In "The Black Cat," the narrator is haunted by guilt and fear, while in "The Raven," the narrator is consumed by grief and loss. This exploration of intense emotions and inner struggles is a characteristic feature of Gothic literature, where the focus often lies on the darker aspects of human nature and the psyche.
