“The Tell-Tale Heart” is a short story by Edgar Allen Poe which was published in 1843 with a theme of guilt and madness. This story begins with an unnamed narrator and enters its horrific theme from the very first portion of the story after the narrator starts confessing the perfect crime he made. The crime he committed was killing an old man with a very mindless reason of having a pale blue eye (vulture-eye) without any feeling of hatred of bitterness. His clear calculations made his crime perfect without any traces left behind but his behavior like the certified crazy guy made him feel his guilt and confess the crime.
This is Poe’s one of the shortest story in which he takes the readers to a random house with very few direct details of it.
