Subject:
English [1]
In “The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, the setting mainly takes place in the house of the old man that was murdered. The narrator is telling the police of how he killed the old man. “I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him….The old man was dead.” This shows how the narrator confessed to murdering the old man as well as what was going through his mind. He didn’t have any feelings of hate or passion against the old man either. He didn’t feel any agony until after killing the old man and he was hearing his heartbeat from under the floor.
