"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe's story The Tell – Tale Heart presents murderous act done by a boy and confessions done later. Poe describe that our heart really can hide the inner reality. Despite desire of secrecy, our heart reveals what there is.

The story begins with the narrator telling us that he's not insane. He claims his senses are sharpened and he is able to hear sounds in heaven, Earth and hell (but he's not crazy). He then discusses his "idea." He's not sure how the idea entered his mind, but once it entered he had to kill the old man (remember, he's not crazy). He then concludes it was the old man's eye that prompted the murder.

he narrator opens the door of the old man's bedroom seven consecutive midnights. On the eighth night, he opens the door, hears the old man's heart, smothers him to death with a mattress and dismembers his corpse (but he's not crazy). It's apparent the narrator thinks he suspects that we suspect madness because he claims this next piece of evidence will convince us he really isn't mad: he places the dismembered corpse under the floor planks in the old man's room (I'm not convinced).

When the police arrive, the narrator invites them to sit right above the dead body. Everything is going well until the narrator hears the old man's heart and confesses (to the crime, not to insanity).
