Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the idea that the narrator wants the reader’s compassion?

“Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or a silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not?”

“I had so much of my old heart left, as to be at first grieved by this evident dislike on the part of a creature which had once so loved me.”

“My original soul seemed,...to take its flight from my body and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.”

“My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events.”
