Cricital analysis Point of View Edgar allan poe
Imagine the sight of an old man's eye, vulturous, pale blue, with a film covering it. Could this drive one's self so insane that one would murder a man because of it? This is the event that occurs in Edgar Allen Poe's vivid tale The Tell-Tale Heart. The story is a recount of events that have already taken place and is being told by a nameless narrator. Poe does not even go into detail as to what sex the narrator is. The only detail we get about the narrator is of the actions he is taking in the story, “…With what foresight—with what dissimulation I went to work!”(Poe, 36) The narrator even takes into consideration that you consider him insane right from the start in the 3rd paragraph. “You fancy me mad,”(Poe, 36) from here he tells the story as if he is trying to justify his actions to you. Poe gives little detail to either, of the main characters in the story because neither are the main focus of the story. Poe uses the point of view from a mad man with wonderful detail added to the suspense of the story.
