The Tell Tale Heart

Edgar Allan Poe, whose personal torment so
     powerfully informed his visionary prose and poetry, is
     a towering figure in the history of American literature.
     A Virginia gentleman and the son of itinerant actors,
     the heir to great fortune and a disinherited outcast, a
     university man who had failed to graduate, a soldier
     brought out of the army, a husband with an
     unapproachable child-bride, a brilliant editor and low
     salaried hack, a world renowned but impoverish

     description of the eye is that it resembled that of a
     vulture, pale blue with a film over it. When the
     narrator looked at it, it caused his blood to run cold.
     This drove him crazy and caused him to kill the old
     man
     He begins to believe that he is hearing the old man's
     heart beating, while he was killing him and after he is
     dead. The pounding becomes louder and louder, and
     drives him crazy. It forces him to tell the police
     officers, who are searching his house, that he killed
     the old man and showed them were the body is
     buried, which...
