8 Δεκ 2023 · “The Tell-Tale Heart” is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, a master of horror and mystery. This tale, initially published in 1843, focuses on the psychological torment and guilt of an unnamed narrator who seeks to justify his sanity while confessing to a horrific crime.
On the eighth night, when he startled the old man from his sleep and feared the neighbors would hear the man’s shriek and heavily pounding heartbeat, the narrator killed, dismembered, and hid the man’s body under the floorboards.
The narrator openly spies on the old man when he sleeps in his room. He breaches all the norms of one’s bedroom and does not consider the privacy of the old man. Ironically, the bedroom becomes a place of agony for the old man.
