For instance, we do not know what the relationship is between the narrator and the old man whom he has killed. There is a mysterious element to much of the story here. Poe’s story is a classic example of nineteenth-century Gothic literature. This is the ‘Tell Tale Heart’ of the story’s title. However, ultimately the narrator’s psychological state begins to decline even further over time as he is haunted by a hallucination in which he believes that he can still hear the old man’s heart beating underneath the floorboards of his house. For instance, after he murders the old man he cuts his body up into pieces and hides them under the floorboards of his house. ![]() He is also calculated in how he tries to cover up the deed. This was not a crime of passion, but was carefully planned by the narrator in advance of him carrying out the act. This narrator has murdered an old man who he describes as having a ‘vulture eye’. It follows an unnamed narrator whose psychological state is extremely precarious, though he insists that he is sane. The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story which was written and published in 1843 by the mid-nineteenth century American horror and Gothic author, Edgar Allan Poe. ![]() ![]() Why does Dennis link drinking with faith?
