Quotes:
 * By means of a crow-bar I easily dislodged the bricks, and, having carefully deposited the body against the inner wall,
 * Propped it in that position, while, with little trouble, I re-laid the whole structure as it originally stood.
 * I prepared a plaster which could not be distinguished from the old, and with this I very carefully went over the new brick-work.

Pupose of the Setting: The purpose of the setting sets the mood of the story. For The Black Cat it is very important because if Poe did not include the cellar and the mystery of the cats then the mood would not be right.
