Tell Tale Heart
Edgar Allan Poe’s, The Tell-Tale Heart, is an amazing story about how a man’s own guilt and conscience can drive him crazy. The boy in this story is very disturbed about his old man’s evil eye. The boy just couldn’t stand looking at this “vulture eye.” He had finally come up with a plan to rid his life of the evil eye, but in doing so, the old man would have to die too. He had no problems with the old man and this was the only thing that troubled him. He really didn’t want to kill the old man, but he felt it was worth it to never see that eye again. When he finally goes through with the plan, he is ruined when the officers come and his own guilt drives him to confess the murder. In no way do I see this boy as a madman. Like he stated in the story, “Madmen know nothing.” He had created a whole plan that covered every possible subject. He seemed to have this planned out for weeks; he just couldn’t go through with the murder. Until that day that he just couldn’t stand looking at that eye.
