This story by Edgar Allan Poe was a great revenge tale because the people that Hop-Frog was getting revenge on really thought he was playing along with them. The king and his men all made fun and pick on Hop-Frog but yet Hop-Frog still helped them. When Hop-Frog had had enough of their abuse, he decided to get his revenge. The tale ended perfectly like every revenge tale does because Hop-Frog got his revenge and then made a quick exit while everyone at the masquerade, watched the king and his men burn. Edgar Allan Poe finds all of his characters flaws and imperfections and points them out. The king and his men were obese and Hop-Frog and Trippetta were dwarfs. My favorite quote comes at the end of the story, "It is supposed that Trippetta stationed on the roof of the saloon had been the accomplice of her friend in his fiery revenge".
