Summary of The Tell-Tale Heart.

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a first-person narrative of a
character who insists he is sane but suffering from a
disease (nervousness). The old man with whom he
lives has a clouded, pale, blue "vulture-like" eye
which so distresses the narrator that he plots to
murder the old man, though the narrator states that
he loves the old man, and hates only the eye. The
narrator insists that his careful precision in

Mood
Edgar Allan Poe quickly creates a mood of horror and
psychological terror in the opening scenes of "The
Tell-Tale Heart." It soon becomes evident that the
narrator is mad, though he continually says that he is
sane, and it seems important to him that the reader
believes him to be so. Most of the action takes place
at night, an appropriate setting for the evil that is
about to unfold, and the old man seems to have no
inkling of what is about to happen to him. Poe builds
the suspense by allowing the narrator to slowly plan

Conflict of the story

The main conflict is internal - the narrator vs. self. The
fact that he commits murder just because of his
opinion of the old mans eye, and that he hears the
beating of the heart coming through the floor creates
the rising action and suspense. The conflict was then
resolved when he was able to get rid of the old man
by chopping him up and hiding him under the
floorboards.

Literary Element of Interest #1 Literary Element: Symbolism

definition:The use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.
text example:After hiding the old man's body, the narrator "replaced the boards
so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye not even his [the old man's]
could have detected anything wrong"
explanation of how said literary element is seen within the textual example:
That statement implies that at some point the eye could see hidden
or secret things.

Literary Element of Interest #2 Literary Element: Tone

definition:Attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience.
text example:True, nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and
am, but why will say that I am mad?! The disease had sharpened my senses,
not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute.

The author is portraying him to be a nervous wreck who has a guilty

conscious about the misdeed he has committed.

Theme Statement
Within Edgar Allen Poes Horror fiction short story entitled The tell
tale heart he discusses guilt to reveal that when someone does a
bad deed, or commits a crime, their guilty conscience will eventually
catch up to them, or that the world is filled with dangerous people and
insane people.It tells us that when someone does a bad deed, or
commits a crime, their guilty conscience will eventually catch up to
them, or that the world is filled with dangerous people and insane
people. People, the semi-normal people, will judge them easily by one
simple thing they say or do.

Final thoughts
This story should be included in the English
9 textbook because "The Tell-Tale heart" is
a classic horror story that illustrates every
component of effective composition. It is
an easy read, comparatively speaking, yet
it exposes the student to one of the master
authors of American literature. It is both
complex and accessible.
