Evil Eye

In the story "The Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe, the main character who is also the narrator (protagonist) is faced with the fear of the old man's eye (antagonist). Because of this fear the narrator takes severe actions in order to end his fear, but on the other hand this fear leads to his demise.

In the beginning of the "Tell Tale Heart" the narrator is trying to convince us that he isn't mad, but by asking us why we say he is mad and saying " I heard all things in heaven and earth. I heard many things in hell." gives me an impression that he is mad. The narrator says that the old man had never "wronged" or "insulted" him, that it wasn't the old man who bothered him, but it was his eye. The fact the narrator is repulsed by the "evil eye" of the old man is reason enough to doubt his character. The narrator is struggling with the thought that the evil eye is watching him, therefore, he comes up with the plan of killing the old man to get rid of the "e


The narrator's insanity comes into full effect when he opens the lantern and gazes upon the "evil eye". The narrator mistakes the beating of his own heart for the heart beat of the old man. Upon that point he says "and now have I not told you that what mistake for madness is but our acuteness of the senses?" this is definitely the quote of a madman because he does not realize what he is really hearing. The narrator stands at the door until he cannot take it any more and pounces on the old man killing him. The narrator then goes to extreme measures in dismembering the body and hiding it under the planks of the floor. The narrator is now feeling a sense of relief, because he got rid of that "evil eye". With his sense of relief that the "evil eye is gone, the narrator has no problem letting the police in when they arrive at his house. The narrator is so sure of himself (another sign of his madness) he leads the police into the room where the body is and invites them to sit down.
