Edgar Alan Poe's nineteenth-century audience might have found his incredible stories believable and scientific. This is because the science of the time was becoming increasingly popular and accessible en masse, however the rigid style of science made it easy for false information to be distributed. Exploiting this flaw, Poe created credible scientific prose for the common audience and introduced a level of satire for the intellectual reader. By analyzing its narrators, form, and attention to detail, we can explore the scientific meaning of its prosaic ambiguity. Poe's narrators seem deliberately equivocal to create distrust in the narrative, and it is within this distrust that Poe's criticisms of science can be seen. The first example is the narrator of "MS Found in a Bottle" who, as a physical philosopher, cannot imagine and therefore his narrative is based solely on facts: "I observed a very singular and isolated cloud, in the northwest. It was notable, as well for its color, since it was the first we had seen since our departure from Batavia. This literal description of the cloud shows us that the scientist can only see what is there and makes no connotation, metaphor or simile of the cloud. beauty of the cloud. This may suggest that Poe considers science limited in his worldview. This can be confirmed when the narrator enters the supernatural vessel and his reasoning is limited ship […]. What is not I can easily perceive; what is I fear it is impossible to say.' This shows that the narrator can only describe what the ship is not suggesting that the narrator's reasoning is useless in new circumstances conclusion, we can see that it is difficult to know whether Poe's narrators are to be believed. Nineteenth-century audiences, being less aware of Poe's satirical motives, would have believed the narrators of the Physicist Philosopher and the Mesmer because of a class system. which ensured that a respectable gentleman approved of science Furthermore, the popularization of science made people more open to new ideas However, as a modern audience we cannot ignore Poe's satirical methods that allow us to see his criticism to science at the expense of a realistic story. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the stories have a certain degree of realism and that the satire contains an overall message that needs to be illustrated, so it could be argued that the portrayal of science is believable for both. the types of audience..
