"very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?"
Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!
" I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell"
conflict
The narrator did not like the old man because he thought the old mad have the eyes of a vulture.
"I think it was his eye yes! it was this! he had the eyes of a vulture-a pale blue eyes with a film over it!"
Rising Action
creepy why is he in the old man's room at midnight but what happened after is more terrifying
and every night about midnight i turned the latch of his door and opened it - oh so gently and then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern.
It continued and became more distinct: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definiteness
Falling action
the narrator took his chance and killed the old man, he was so proud of himself and happy
i cut off the head and the arms and the legs
i was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before i killed him...
villians! i shrieked dissemble no more! i admit the deed! tear up the planks! here here! its the beating of him hideous heart!
it grew louder-louder-louder and still the man chatted pleasantly and smiled was it possible they heard not? almighty god no no!
he kept hearing sounds in his head of the man's heart beat but it also kept getting louder then he admit killing him!
