    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.

Anxiety comes in all different shapes and sizes and affects people in thousands of different ways, this carries over to anxiety in literary as well. There are both similarities and differences between Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne and The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, a lot of this has to do with the authors and their approaches. While Young Goodman Brown and The Tell Tale Heart seem to be very different in the way the characters explain their insanity and with the way they handle the anxiety, they are similar in the extensive detail the author uses to tell their story.…
