Insanity is a mental illness that causes people to not be able to recognize the difference between what is real and what is fake. They are unable to control their abrupt behavior and they cannot manage their own affairs. Someone who is insane should not be held accountable for actions they have no control over. In the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe the narrator is in fact insane because he is unable to tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong, has no control over this actions, and he cannot differentiate fantasy from reality. He should not be sent to prison but instead receive help.

Life is full of various memories that shape who we are as a person, like making your very first friend, or learning how to ride a bike.

The use of diction, “Villains” specifically refers to the policemen in the persona’s company, although the persona is the murderer who clearly has portrayed villainous qualities. This ironic accusation is the result of the narrator projecting his lingering guilt onto others, as a method of coping with his emotional trauma. The confusion and inability to distinguish between the policemen and the composer’s villainous actions ultimately concludes the short story by consolidating the persona’s insanity, setting the audience’s mind to rest with the resolution. Through Poe’s storytelling, the audience experiences a dubious journey, which mirrors the nature of insanity.

The second and the third stanza reflects how he feels about the weather and I think he meant the fall season in which he uses a cold tone “the garden is bare now. The ground is cold, brown and old”, he clearly just mentioning the negative sounding around fall. A lonely tone also found in the last few stanzas, when he mentioned that his food is almost cooked “White rice steaming, almost done. Sweet green peas fried in onions. Shrimp braised in sesame oil and garlic. And my own loneliness. What more could I, a young man, want.”. The part where he said, “And my own

He shows that the sand that's slipping through his fingers is similar to an hourglass with the sand constantly falling and time just continues passing no matter what's going on in the world. Through his words, he does a tremendous job connecting the first and third person stanza which ultimately feel like two completely different moods, but he still makes them feel entirely connected throughout his

His story-bound ingenuity is met by his theoretic advances, which not only supplied a reasoning for his creation of the genres of science fiction and the detective story, but also endeavored to form a tradition of uniquely American literary criticism that would free the American literary world from its colonial dependence on England. In 1846, Poe wrote an essay titled ‘ 'The Philosophy of Composition, '’ which was printed in a publication of Graham’s Magazine.
