Tell-Tale Heart
Storyboard Text
- Exposition
- Once I conceived a plan to murder the old man, the idea hunted me day and night.
- Rising Action One
- god.. this eye is really creeping me out, but I have a plan.. His eye needs to be open so I can comply..
- Rising Action 2
- Hello? Is anyone there? Why is there a torch light shining at me? It should be okay...
- 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. He begins by telling the listener that the motive for murder is nothing more than the sight of the old man's "vulture eye".
- 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.
- Falling Action
- On the eighth night of watching the old man he stifled by laughing and woke up the old man. The old man and the narrator have a one hour stand of in the dark neither of them moving a muscle or making any noise. After the standoff the narrator shins a ray of light on the old mans eye and realizes it is open. The narrators anxiety starts rising and he starts to hear the old mans "heart beat". 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.
- ah what's happening..
- The narrator drags the body to the bathtub and cuts it up. The narrator thinks he has a lot of sagacity. He then takes the body parts to the bedroom and puts them under the floorboards. The police then arrive because the neighbors claim to hear a shrike. The narrator invites them in to talk because of his audacity he puts the chairs right over the dead body. He begins to hear a heartbeat and believes the police are mocking him.
- i really really needed to do this, i needed it so bad.
- The narrator starts to feel the guilt set in. He ends up confessing to the police.
