When the old man heard the noise of someone or something, he suddenly awoke and the narrator stopped in his tracks. The narrator had so much patience that “I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down” (Poe 304). The narrator knew that he wanted to kill the old man, but he did not act upon it right away. The narrator stalked the old man for a week straight. Every night at midnight for a week, he would get out of his bed and just watch the old man. He was careful to not make a sound, but just to watch his vulture like of an eye. The narrator had the want randomly one day to kill the old man, because of his pale blue eye, with a film over it, stared at him like a vulture. From this moment on he was as kind to the man as he could be, before he killed him. Every night he would go into the old mans room and stare at the man sleeping in bed. One night he undid the lantern so there was only a ray of light fell upon the vulture he calls his eye.

He watched and waited patiently, until he felt the time was right to end the old mans life for good. The narrator cut up the old mans body, legs, arms, and head in all. He did so without looking back and without any hesitation. The narrator
