- RISING ACTION
- CLIMAX
- The story starts of by introducing the main character, or the narrator. The narrator is explaining how he isn't crazy, but the things he says and does are things that only crazy people would do. He explains that he wants to kill the old man, the second most important character. The setting is unknown, but I pictured him telling this story to the cops in the old man's house, after he got caught.
- FALLING ACTION
- The narrator goes on to explain that he was sneaking and looking into the old man's house at about midnight every night for seven days. He was waiting for him to open his eyes, but he never did. Finally on the eight day, the old man woke up and opened his eyes.
- RESOLUTION
- Now that the old man was awake, he was trying to comfort himself, but the narrator could tell he was scared. The narrator then leaped into the room. The old man only got one scream out before the narrator suffocated him with his mattress.
- THEME
- The narrator chopped up the old man into pieces and put him under the floorboard. But soon after, the police came to the house because a neighbor heard screaming. The narrator reassured them and invited them to relax in the house. The narrator sat in a chair right above where he buried the old man.
- The narrator became extremely guilty, and believed he could hear the old mans heart still beating under the floorboards. He thought the police were tricking him, and could secretly hear it to. Eventually, the guilt became too much and the narrator confessed to the police that he killed the old man.
- Your under arrest!
- It was me!
- The theme, or moral, of the story the Tell-Tale Heart is that people can never really escape the bad things they've done.
