“The Tell-Tale Heart” vs. “The Black Cat” Have you ever done something that you knew was wrong? You are aware that what you’ve done was a mistake and that you shouldn’t have done that. And then that’s when guilt hits you like a bullet. Guilt can have several different effects on you which could cause you to go insane. That is what happened in these two short stories.

The “Tell-Tale Heart” is about a man who murders an old man, but his guilty conscience betrayed him by making him hear the old man’s heart after he died.

1. In Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” the police visited the old man’s house because one of the neighbours had heard a shriek during the night. I think that the police suspected that the storyteller was the murderer until he started showing them (the police) around the house and welcomed them into the old man’s home.

“There is no genius without some touch of madness.” (Aristotle) However, when it is fueled by constant denial, madness can suddenly turn into a force that completely controls us. “The Tell-Tale Heart”, a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, explores the effects of madness on an individual’s character and actions through the narrator and his attempt to convince the reader and himself of his sanity.
