which again helps to reinforce this idea that the narrator is truly unaware of his own madness. Poe’s masterful use of italics is essential to the development of the manic voice of the narrator. The italics flawlessly mimic the actual voice of a deranged person depicted in the story to create an audible voice within the reader's mind. One instance is when the narrator is describing his feelings the night of the killing, “Never before that night had I felt the extent of my own powers—of my sagacity”

instead become deranged. Additionally, in this passage, Knowles exhibits Leper’s acknowledgement of this deprivation of innocence, for Leper admits to being “psycho” and, thereby, no longer innocent. Furthermore, after losing innocence and accepting this loss, Leper attains adulthood, as he continues to speak in a nonsensical and deranged manner, which demonstrates that he is crazy. As an innocent, naïve boy, Leper’s natural response to his loss of innocence is to become deranged. As a result, Leper

The Tell-Tale Heart In this short clip of Edgar Allan Poe’s story, “The Tell-Tale Heart” he begins to speak from the mind of the conflicted unnamed character with the use of indirect characterization. Using the components of speech, thoughts, and actions, Poe unravels an interesting story about the inner conscience and reveals that the more effort put into covering up a situation, the more struggle will be presented to keep it from exposing.

The evil that is in the boys and all of humanity is savagery. Savagery means that somebody is acting cruel or fierce.

He starts to hate the leader of the group, Ralph, because he believes that Ralph is not an adequate leader, and he believes that he would be a better leader. Additionally, this hatred is extremely obvious to point where even Ralph notices

The conflict of
By tracing back the early roles of Shylock done in the Elizabethan stage, we are able to appreciate the complexity of Shakespear’s character, Shylock, and how he has the greatest impact than any other character. In the early Elizabethan era Shylock was portrayed as an archetypical Jew of that time. He would be played by the performer wearing a red wig and large false nose. This look created the foundations of Shylock’s personality during the Elizabethan era; a comic villain not to be taken seriously
Greasy Lake, musty, fetid, and uneasy to one’s eyes, still intriguing to explore. This lake was mysterious, yet it was a clear invitation for these teens.
