‘The Tell-Tale Heart’’ is the story of a man who, due to some unknown illness (presumably paranoid schizophrenia--at least that’s what it sounds like), stalks and eventually murders an innocent old man because he feels that this man’s cloudy, pale blue eye has caused him to go mad. You might think, okay, he’s killed him: end of story. However, this is Poe’s writing we are talking about and nothing is ever as simple as it seems. After the murder, the narrator argues against his madness, yet he moves once again to disprove that argument by admitting to continue to be haunted by the old man’s heartbeat, which drives him to further acts of insanity in which he dismembers the old man and hides him beneath the floorboards. Check out the link below to read a detailed summary of the story and learn the outcome of this very unusual story. Hope this helps.
