"Poe, Edgar Allen." "The Tell Tale Heart." N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Oct. 2015.
"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.
