The Evil Eye?
In
The Tell-Tale Heart, the narrator is telling the story. It's his point
of view. From his POV, I feel like a
cannot trust the narrator for 1 reason. HE'S CRAZY! This narrator believes that
an eye is evil, and because of this, he must kill the old man? Multiple times
he says that he's not mad, and I really don't think that. I mean, who else
kills someone for their eye?
The this story, we interpretive it as a
creepy, crazy story from the narrator's point of view. But what if the point of
view changes? If the POV was from the old man's POV, it would be a pretty calm
story until the end when he is randomly killed in the night. I would sound
something like this….
Life was
quiet in my lovely house. A week off silence and calmness. But then on the
eighth night, I settled down for a quiet sleep, startling awake at a small
sound in the night.
"Who's there?" I asked into the
pitch black air of midnight. I tried hard to not freak out. "It is nothing
but the wind in the chimney-it is only a mouse crossing the floor. It is merely
a cricket which has made a single chirp." My words didn't help, but slowly
I relaxed. That was not the right thing to do. A moment later, something
charged at me. To didn't have a chance. The person dragged me on the ground. I
struggled to move, to talk, to breathe. The person pulled the bed on top of me.
That was it. Silence.
