 Based upon the famous Edgar Allan Poe story, The Tell-Tale Heart is
narrated in the first-person by James Mason, who starts out the story
indignantly asking why one would call him mad. He then calmly and
precisely relates the story of how he came to be obsessed with the Old
Man who lived in the old house. Although the Old Man never harmed
him nor did him wrong, he became tortured by his existence --
especially by his eye, the milky white film of which the Narrator soon
imagined stared at him everywhere. The Narrator resolves to get rid of
his enemy, and first makes sure that the Old Man will suspect nothing by
gaining his trust. After waiting and watching with intense patience, he
finally kills him late one night and disposes of the body by burying it
beneath the floor and carefully replacing the floorboards. Police, having
been alerted by a neighbor who head the Old Man's screams, arrive but
see nothing amiss. The Narrator initially remains cool and calm and the
police suspect nothing, but during their presence, the killer suddenly
hears the Old Man's heart beating louder and louder. Eventually, certain
that the police hear it as well and are just toying with him, he screams
out his confession of guilt. ~
 The story he tells us takes place inside a
random old house.
As to the interior of the house, we only
hear about the old man's bedroom.
The house might be in an urban area,
possibly a high-crime one.
Guilt and innocence
The story is about a mad person who, after
killing a companion for no apparent reason,
hears an interminable heartbeat and releases
his overwhelming sense of guilt by shouting his
confession to the police.
The human heart cannot endure the burden of
guilt, especially in the case of murder.
 Just because of the vulture eyes causing
the death of the old man.
It is a crystal clear shown that the
madness of the man is the reason of each
event in this story.
 Unnamed narrator - The murderer of the
old man. Addressing the reader, the narrator
offers his tale of precise murder and
dismemberment as an argument for his
sanity.
Old man - The narrators murder victim. The
narrators obsession with the old mans one
vulture-eye indicates the insanity that the
narrator wants to deny.
 Initial Situation
Not insane! and the "Evil Eye"
The narrator wants to show that he is not insane,
and offers a story as proof. In that story, the initial
situation is the narrator's decision to kill the old man
so that the man's eye will stop looking at the
narrator.
Conflict
Open your eye!
The narrator goes to the old man's room every night
for a week, ready to do the dirty deed. But, the
sleeping man won't open his eye. Since the eye,
not the man, is the problem, the narrator can't kill
him if the offending eye isn't open.

 Complication
The narrator makes a noise while spying
on the old man, and the man wakes up
and opens his eye.
This isn't much of a complication. The
man has to wake up in order for the
narrator to kill him. If the man still
wouldn't wake up after months and
months of the narrator trying to kill him,
nowthat would be a conflict.
 Climax
Murder
The narrator kills the old man with his own bed
and then cuts up the body and hides it under the
bedroom floor.
Suspense
Uh-oh, the police.
The narrator is pretty calm and collected when
the police first show up. He gives them the
guided tour of the house, and then invites them
to hang out with him in the man's bedroom. But,
the narrator starts to hear a terrible noise, which
gets louder and louder, and
 Denouement
Make it stop, please!
Well, the noise gets even louder, and
keeps on getting louder until the
narrator can't take it anymore.
Thinking it might make the noise stop,
the narrator tells the cops to look
under the floorboards.
 Conclusion
The narrator identifies the source of the
sound.
Up to this moment, the narrator doesn't
identify the sound. It's described first as "a
ringing," and then as "a low, dull, quick sound
much such a sound as a watch makes
when enveloped in cotton" (9). Only in the
very last line does the narrator conclude that
the sound was "the beating of [the man's]
hideous heart!" (10)
 THATS ALL.
