  • 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!- 'villains!' I shrieked, 'dissemble' no more! I admit the deed! (Poe 841). Tone:Paranoiac, anxious
  • FALLING ACTION: The police arrive at the house because the old man's neighbor heard a shriek.
