Reading Response: The Tell Tale Heart
An Evil Eye, the eye of a vulture is all it took to end someone’s life. “It was not the old man who vexed me but his evil eye…I made up my mind to take the life of the old man and thus rid myself of his evil eye forever.” These are the thoughts that ran through the mind of a mad man in Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Tell Tale Heart. In this riveting and horrifying story a man past the point of insane is driven to do the unthinkable, murdering an innocent, old man because of his “pale blue eye with a film over it.” Poe displays remarkable examples of realistic imagery, complex characters and a riveting plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire blood-curdling story.
