- The antagonist in the story is the narrator. His main goal throughout the entire story is to prove his sanity by describing how carefully he planned and carried out the murder of the old man.

- Climax
- The narrator says he really likes the old man and is kind to him. Every night at midnight the narrator watches the old man sleep. He wants to see if his "vulture eye" is open and carefully cracks open the door and shines a thin ray of light on his eye. He thinks he is so profound by this and is very proud of himself. The next morning he always askes how the old man slept to make sure he is not suspicious.

It keeps getting louder and louder until the narrator thinks the neighbors will hear the heartbeat.
- Resolution
- yes I'm guilty, i know it wasn't right.
- The narrator yells and leaps into the old mans room. The narrator smothers him with a mattress suffocating him. His vulture eye must have really vexed him.

He begins to hear a heartbeat and believes the police are mocking him.
