The Tell-Tale Heart

One night you’re sleeping in bed. Then you wake up and hear someone in your room. You know that you haven’t done anything wrong, so you’re really scared as to what’s going on. A while later dead, for no reason, wait what about because of the way your eye looked. The guy in The Tell- Tale Heart who killed the old man was absolutely insane!

Have you ever heard of someone killing another person because of their eye? I’ve never heard of such thing. In this case if the guy was really disturbed by the old man’s eye, he could have just told him to wear an eye patch or something. Or he could’ve just not looked at the eye. Any normal person would probably try and find a solution other thank killing the person.

If someone is formulating a plan to kill another person, it wouldn’t take a sane person eight days to put it in action. In The Tell-Tale Heart it took the guy so long to finally kill the old man, because he was scared to get caught. In this case maybe he should’ve considered not killing the old man. I mean honestly who would really do something this stupid?

No one gets so annoyed with someone because of their eye. If the old man’s eye bugged him that much he should’ve done something about it before it became such an issue. I wonder if this guy really had no other issues with the old man.
