- The Chamber is an instrument of fear. It makes use of complete and disorienting darkness, then mysterious glowing, with pictures of horrifying creatures on the walls to wreak psychological havoc on the narrator. The walls become the instrument of certain death, pushing the narrator towards the pit after he escapes from the pendulum.

- The pendulum swings like a grandfather clock. Each moment it swings, the narrator is confronted with the terrifying reality that it’s getting closer and is razor sharp. The pendulum is part of this “just” sentence issued by the inquisitors, but is an instrument of psychological torture. It creates the idea of a game: the narrator has so much time to formulate an escape, or he loses.

- The pit is the narrator’s first close call with death. The pit becomes his final choice as he is pushed towards it by the enclosing chamber walls which are burning fire-hot. The narrator knows that the pit means certain death for him, and he screams in despair as he finds he has run out of options.
