The Tell -Tale heart

The protagonist of the story is a young servant who looks after an old sick man. The narrator has sensitive senses, which makes him claim that he is not a madman.It is obvious that the young servant does not really get on well with the old man as he hates his pale blue eye which he thinks that it looks at him every time he visits  the old man's chamber  .The young servant decides to eradicate  the old man in order to get rid of him and his pale blue eye.The obvious conclusion that can be drawn is that  sometimes jealousy and  suspicions can lead us to commit murder .


  Edgar Allan Poe was a writer who has  inspired others to write stories with suspense and with distinctive writing. The story amazed me as it has all the features that make a story tremendous and exciting . 

THE TELL-TALE HEART'BY EDGAR ALAN POE

    The story is about a young man who looked after an old one. The narrator claims to be no madman, but rather have a disease which makes his senses more sensitive. He seems to have no problem with the elder except one, he hates his eye. As a result, he decided to kill the man to get rid of this pale blue eye. While the narrator does say that he is not crazy, his doing lead us to think that he really is one.

  I really liked the tale, as it had a feature that every tale of this type should have, and that is suspense. Last but not least, the way he exhibited the events that happened in the story really inspired me.
