The innocence of is at the end of the story when he confesses his deed as he can’t ignore the loud sound of his own guilt and crime. For the tricky and smoothness trait the narrator shows are also in the middle to end because that’s when he says how he got rid of evidence. To prove my argument, I will focus on three traits of the Anti-American Adam which are, not innocent, tricky smooth, evil emotion. The killing of the old man and how evil he had only destroyed him at the end, then also exposing himself. In the story there was many sources of the old man heart sounding like ticking of a watch wrapped in cotton. The narrator had explained how he killed the old man in detail and how the heart beating of the old man sounds like the heartbeat of his heart. I argue that the narrator of the Tell-Tale Heart is a complete reversal of the American Adam because of his obsessive mind with the old man that he lived with and his evil eye. I found this story to be very horrifying but also entertaining and it was my favorite story by Edgar Allan Poe.ĭon't use plagiarized sources. This automatically shows me how crazy the narrator is even though he tries to be very convincing. The only reason why he admitted to it because he thought him hearing the old man heartbeat. Then at the end he could get away with this, but he admits to the police what he did. The man cuts the limbs off the old man and hides it under the floorboards.
The fear of hearing the old man heart beat wakes up the neighbors and then he kills him. The narrator tells himself that he hears the old man heart beating. The narrator is very known that the old man is petrified and trying to down play all the noises. He stays silent and unmoving in darkness. On the last night the narrator wakes the old man while watching him. The narrator spends many nights watching the man sleep. The story he tells is based on his view to defend his place even though he insists that he’s not crazy, but his actions say it all.
The narrator tells all his motives from the beginning by addressing his issue of the old man’s eye to the reader. The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is being told by a narrator who is angry.
