“I made up my mind to take the life of the old man.” (Poe. 626) A quote from the great Edgar Allan Poe’s suspenseful story, Tell-Tale Heart. The man's ''Evil Eye'' is making him go incredibly insane. In the story, the psycho man spies on him and waits until the right time to lurk in on him and take his life. Is everything okay in the end? Does he get away with ending an innocent man's life? This intense story shows a gruesome plot, unbelievable imagery, and creates and shows phenomenal characterization.
Tell-Tale Heart had such a intregeing plot that kept me hooked the whole time. One night he had waited in the doorway watching the man sleep while the ''Evil Eye'' had just been laying there. He lurked into his room and when he had stepped in far enough, the ''Evil Eye'' had awakened and he went bazurk. One of the quote's Poe had said in this story was, ''I pulled the bed over him until he was dead.'' (Poe. 628) The ''Evil Eye'' had urked him to the point of ending this man's life.
