The tell-tale heart

In the song the narrator clarifies that has always been nervous and that during his illness his ear was
the most acute all your senses which allows you to listen to many things around you . Starts telling the
story of a character that doesn't support the look of an old man who has an eye sick, therefore decides
to kill him and hide his body in the hollow of the wooden floor. It all starts with an idea I kept
thinking of night and day, on an old man who loved him very much and that she had never done
anything wrong.

The author begins by telling each one of the actions carried out, and as in the darkness moving slowly
the head of the old in order to take it out thanks to a small space that had the door.
During these actions he understood what he was feeling the old and had him pity , even though he was
laughing in the background of his heart upon realizing that the old man was awake from the first
noise.After waiting for a long time the old pleaded for his life, after that threw him to the ground,
drowning it with a mattress heavy and realizing that the old had died lift the mattress and examined
the corpse, then cut off his head, arms and legs , The killer considered throwing the remains of the
body in a hollow made of wood.After the crime he found himself with three agents of police officers
who knew the report on the assassination of the Elder. After this they had an agitated conversation
and the murderer confessed that he had been the author of the crime that he was tired of pretending
and that he could not bear his hypocritical smiles.

crime making it almost perfect and how because of his madness he wanted to justify each of his
