Tell Tell Heart: use of POV

Tell Tell Heart : Use of Point of View

There is a belief that the eyes are windows to the soul. But to some, the soul resides in the heart. In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tell Heart," he also links these two body parts. The story opens with this unnamed narrator telling of how he will kill the old man because-well the reason he gives-he dislikes his "Evil Eye" yet, in the end it is the old man's beating heart that drives the narrator to confess to the killing. Poe strategically employs first person narrative for the point of view because the reader receives an extended understanding of the narrator and it enhances the interest of the reader.

The purpose for a first person narrative is often to give supplementary understanding of the story. With this style, Poe is capable of giving explanations to the motives of the narrator and his feelings of reflection after the killing too. The narrator explains, "One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture . . . Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold" (293). The narrator presents this as the motive to kill the old man. Since the eye represents the windows to the soul, the narrator distresses over the purest of the old man in comparison to his own making the old man's eye symbol
