    Any loving wife would call 911 if she found her husband unconscious on the bathroom floor. Not Mrs. Verbermockle. Although Mr. Verbermockle’s death may appear to be accidental, the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Mrs. Verbermockle murdered him in cold blood. Mrs. Verbermockle’s reaction to her husband’s “emergency” is highly suspicious. Worse yet, her statements to the doctor do not coincide with the evidence found at the scene.…

In the story “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe the crazed protagonist goes a very calm outer state but slowly over the story he starts to break down on the inside. With having all of this conflict between himself and the old man's vulture eye it creates this store perfectly to be viewed in a psychoanalytic lens.

    Edgar Allen Poe captivated everyone with the short story The Tell-Tale Heart, which forced readers to questions one's mental state, deciding on whether someone is guilty or innocent, whether someone is conscious of their actions, or if they are sane or criminally insane. The Tell-Tale Heart is the perfect example of the argument of whether an individual is aware of their actions and the crimes they commit or if they are possessed and driven to commit crimes by something in their mind, in which they could possibly use an insanity plea during their trial if they are caught. The narrator, who Edgar Allen Poe portrays as insane, is not, and during this essay, I will outline examples as to why he is not and that he is fully aware of the crimes that he is committing. The first example as to his premeditation is how he is explaining the story to the audience.…

    The narrator is not trustworthy as the story is highly subjective. In ‘‘The Tell-Tale Heart,’’ stimulus in objective sense scarcely exists at all. The story contains only two main characters, both unnamed, and three indistinguishable police officers; even the setting of the narration is left unspecified. Only the man’s eye motivates the murderer, and that almost wholly through his internal reaction to it. The action too, though decisive, is quickly over, “In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him.’’…

Mrs. Abbott, though, invited twelve police officers and detectives to view her own murder in plain sight! Therefore, “The Dying Detective” and…
