Title: The Tell-Tale Heart.

1) Main Characters: there are two main characters:
 The mysterious narrator
 The old man with the white eye

2) Secondary characters:
 The Police

3) Plot: The story presents an anonymous narrator obsessed with

the diseased eye (which he calls "vulture eye") of an old man with
whom he lives. Finally, he decides to kill him. The crime is
carefully planned and, after being perpetrated, the corpse is torn
to pieces and hidden under the floorboards of the house.
The narrator reveals his madness by trying to separate the part
of the old man that he loves from the supposed evil eye, which
unleashes the narrator's hatred.

at the end of the story, he says that he was the culprit and they
kill him

4) Summary: An unnamed narrator, claiming to be sane, becomes

obsessed with an old man's evil eye. This obsession leads to
murder, with the body hidden beneath the floor. When the
police arrive due to a neighbor's report, the narrator is
tormented by the sound of the old man's still-beating heart and
ultimately confesses.

5) Personal opinion: In our opinion we really liked this book for

how well it manages to carry the suspense through the entire
story, another thing that I also liked was the mystery that
surrounds the work since, for example, we don't know
much about the older man, who he was and what
relationship he had with his murderer
