What would you do if you lived with a man that had a eye which you thought was evil. Would you go as far as the narrator did in the short story Tell Tale Heart. I know I wouldn't kill a man because of an eye I would just ignore it. Killing someone for that reason in is insanity.
There are several other ways he could have resolved the conflict without murder. he could have just destroyed the eye instead of the old man. He said he had loved the old man he lived with him but because of his eye he suffocated him chopped him into pieces and set his body under the floor board. He then lied to the police and said that the old man had been out of town at the moment so he wasn’t in the house at the time. The police had to investigate the house though so they walked in and went up to the old mans room and had a seat. The narrator brought the police refreshments and told them to make themselves at home. The narrator was practically grinning knowing he had gotten away with murder until he started hearing a ticking noise. He explained it as if it was the old mans heart the ticking was making the narrator insane so he confessed to his murder and went insane. That is when the story had ended.
Though I do not know who the narrator is I still think he is mad because he went insane because of a ticking noise and a eye that he thought was evil, how could an eye possibly be evil I mean I know how the man could have been evil. the narrator took about3 hours just to peek his head through the old mans door in the middle of the night before he killed him. So I think that the narrator is insane.
