Tell Tale Heart
Montāžas Teksta
- The Caretaker of our story is explaining how he is no crazy before the story is about to happen.
- Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story.
- He shrieked once — once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done. But, for many minutes, the heart beat on with a muffled sound. This, however, did not vex me; it would not be heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The old man was dead.
- The caretaker is explaining why he is obsessed with the old man and why he took his life
- Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture — a pale blue eye
- The caretaker tells us about watching the old man sleep the week before . But also telling us why he cant take the old mans life
- I undid the lantern cautiously — oh, so cautiously — cautiously (for the hinges creaked) — I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights — every night just at midnight — but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye
- The caretaker proceeds to carry out his plan of taking the old mans life
- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
- Knocks
- The police had showed up to the crime.
- The caretaker folds under pressure by the police and reveals the body
- "Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
