"True nervous very,very dreadfully nervous I had been and am but why will you say that I am mad?"Poe, Edgar Allen"I believe that the narrator in The Tell Tale Heart is a psychopath.The reasons why are because he is full of himself,has a lack of guilt,not being able to accept responsibilities of things he caused,and is very charming."Psychopathic Traits"

One of the Narrator's psychopathic tendencies is having superior thoughts.This is one of the many psychopathic tendencies.The reason for this is because while the Narrator was telling the story he kept talking about how sly and sneaky he was and how well he hid the body under the floorboard."But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded with what caution with what foresight with what dissimulation I went to work!"This was one of the sentences that the Narrator says in the poem is very clear that he thinks he is the best killer out there.That is why I think the Narrator is a psychopath because he has superior thoughts.

    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 variation of strange and disturbed characters has been a constant throughout all works of gothic fiction.

This is seen in the way he attributes special powers to the old man’s eye and in his incomprehension towards neighbours hearing the final heartbeats of his victim. First of all, the narrator associates fictional powers with the old man’s pale blue eye.…

    To conclude her book, Thomas cites several studies that find connections between decreased density and synapses in certain parts of the brain to sociopathic individuals. She acknowledges that there is the possibility that sociopathy can be diminished by raising children in nurturing homes and providing them with strict moral guidelines. She assures the reader that sociopaths are nothing to be afraid of; in fact, she postulates that they might have just as much, if not more, to fear from those with unpredictable…

    Furthermore, these illusions contribute to the mental breakdown of both narrators. The imaginary heartbeat leads the narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” to become so overwhelmed by guilt that he confesses his crime to the police even after convincing them of his innocence (Poe 691). Similarly, the spot that looks like a gallows causes the narrator of “The Black Cat” to become afraid of the cat that bears the spot and causes his hatred for the cat to increase as it follows him around his home day after day (Poe 699). This ultimately leads him to swing at the cat with an axe and to kill his wife with the axe after she attempts to keep him from hurting the cat (Poe 699). According to writer Veronica Mueller, “Throughout Mr. Poe’s works, his characters are usually dominated by their emotions.…
