Edgar, after kicking over the table in order to hammer and claw at the floorboards to further gain access to stairs leading down into the room where Emily is buried, carries with him the oil lantern from upstairs to provide light to see in the dark basement, yet, on the table in the back of the room is an oil lantern already burning. How can this be if the room had been sealed off, and the floorboards had been hammered shut? Unless we are to believe the lantern was inadvertently left behind, and the room was sealed off shortly before Edgar's arrival, and the amount of time to consume the poison and write the story, took little time?
