Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” is a concise Gothic horror story that delves into madness, murder, and the macabre.
In the story, an unnamed narrator insists on their sanity while recounting their chilling act of murder. The victim is an old man with a peculiar eye-one that appears evil and vulture-like. The narrator’s obsession with this eye drives them to commit the gruesome deed. For seven nights, they sneak into the old man’s room, shining a lantern on the eye, but each time, the eye remains closed. On the eighth night, their glee turns to panic as they accidentally make noise while approaching the bed. Despite their meticulous planning, the old man awakens, and the narrator kills him. Later, when the police arrive, the narrator becomes convinced that they can hear the dead man’s heart still beating and confesses in a fit of hysteria.
