Narrator
Since people's thinking is different and creative, their opinions are various. Particularly, people might have conflicts on various opinions, because they are somehow biased, but they thought that they were right. Though this kind of condition is contradictive, we people often make the mistake unwittingly. The writing style in “The Tell-Tale Heart” is contradictive but luring readers to discover why the narrator isn't worth to trust. The unreliable narrator in the story is haunted by his idea that the old man has an “Evil Eye”. At the beginning of the story, the narrator insists that he is not crazy. He says that he can hear all the things in Heaven, Earth, and Hell. This is a illusion that deludes the readers because he is sort of insane. Since I never heard the things in Heaven or Earth, in that case, I would like to visit my grandfather. He died when I was small so I couldn't even remember his expression. Furthermore, the narrator planned every detail of the murder. He was obsessed with the murder. Therefore, he couldn’t think of anything else unless the poor, old man died. The narrator also believed that the old man had an “Evil Eye”. This is a fairly common thing that people who are crazy think. They think that an Evil Eye can see everything, and causes people to get hurt or killed. Therefore, he has to murder the old man as quick as possible. However, I think that the narrator is truly unbelievable. The author creates a frightening atmosphere that attracts readers, and makes them willing to discover the ending.
