It’s so rare for me not to love a Poe story, but it does happen. “Mystification�� is so focused on a satirical twist that the build can feel taxing to read. The story focuses on the Baron Von Jung and how amazing he is. All of the other university students are in awe of him. One night, the Baron and a group of friends, including the narrator, are discussing things when one of them starts to talk about duels. Poe did not approve of duels and wrote some satirical pieces about it and this is one of them. The story continues with the narrator as the go-between for the Baron and the friend who loves duels. The Baron then teaches the other man a lesson through a certain coded text. It’s not really the most entertaining piece and the twist isn’t so amazing to make a reader think long and hard about it.
