Edgar Allan Poe creates an atmosphere of fear and dread in his story “The Tell-Tale Heart” through the eye and insisting he’s not crazy. The first way Poe creates fear is in the way he describes and illustrates the eye of the old man. Poe creates a scene of terror by observing and stalking his prey waiting until he will make his move. The narrator using a sense of planning and plotting to set up how and why he wants to destroy the eye: He had never given me insult.

In the story “The Tell-Tale Heart”, Edgar Allan Poe shows the hidden darkness within an insane narrator. The narrator says “TRUE!—NERVOUS—VERY, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?”(Poe). The narrator believes that he is nervous, but not mad. He says that he likes the old man, but he does not like the old man’s vulture looking eye, and he gets mad when he sees it. All he wants to do is get rid of the old man’s eyes. The only way the narrator thinks he can get rid of the old man’s vulture looking eyes is by killing him. He admits that he did not want to kill the old man, but he does not see any other way to get rid of them; so he chooses to kill the old man. The narrator thinks that his killing of the old man defines how perfect and cautious he is, but a sane person would have never killed the old man in order to escape his vulture looking eyes.

The narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart is an unreliable narrator and lies often. The narrator is vexed by the old man’s eye and decides to kill him and tell the police so he can win a prize. When the police officer’s realize that the narrator is making a mockery of the old man’s death, he starts to get very anxious and agitated. The narrator in the Tell-Tale Heart is very deranged and crazy. One thing that the narrator does that makes him seem crazy is he is vexed by the old man’s eye and wants to kill him.

"I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture a pale blue eye, with a film over it." (Poe, 1843)

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a very creepy story that includes horror in the story. The horror of the story is very different in the story from the horror of other stories.

In the short story “The Tell Tale Heart,”Edgar Allan Poe writes in a spooky tone. There's a narrator trying to convince to you that he is sane. The author uses the phrase “his eye was like the eye of a vulture” . This makes you feel creeped out but makes you still want to keep reading.The story pulls you in, to keep on reading.

The narrator can think of nothing else but killing the old man with which he lives even though he has nothing against this man and actually doesn’t mind him. He finds the man’s eye to be so repulsive that the only way to deal with it is by destroying the old man. The eye is described as resembling “that of a vulture – a pale blue eye, with a film over it.” The narrator also describes how this eye makes him feel when he states that “I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness – all a dull blue, with a hideous veil that chilled the very marrow in his bones.” This startling quote helps to deepen the story’s suspense. The theme of violence is also shown when the murderer describes what he does with the old man’s body after killing him. “First of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head and the arms and the legs.”

Poe is fascinated by the eye, not just human eyes but eyes of all kinds. In his story “The Tell-Tale Heart” he explains his love for the old man as we not not know the name of. Poe explains that he is not into wealth and greed but art.” For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this!” (Poe 1). Some people would think this in another way, but my opposition is that poe finds the eye to have many different forms of art. I mean, Have you ever taken the time to deeply detail the design and look of an eye? There are explosions of color and if you look close enough it kinda looks like a star. Poe without a doubt was not sane. That is, so we think. “I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself

In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the main character was deeply disturbed not by a cat’s eye but, by a man’s eye. He described that the eye had the same look as that of a vulture’s (Poe). It was “a pale blue, with film over it” (Poe 702). Every night at mid-night, the obsessive man would sneak into the other man’s room and watch to see if his “vulture” eye was open; but, the man was always soundly asleep. On one particular evening, the man’s eye was wide open and the sight of his eye made him furious (Poe). He decided to drag the man to the floor and smother him with his own bed until he was dead.
