An Addition to Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"



            Here is a sketch representing Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”. The sketch displays the protagonist watching over the old man sleeping when he comes into his room in the middle of the night. However, this represents the night, where the old man wakes up and questions himself if there is anyone there. The structure of this sketch is quite significant. The old man is facing outward, but in the protagonist’s view the old man has his body turned away. Thus, when the protagonist comes into the old man’s room, he is unable to see the “Evil Eye”, and can see only the innocent old man whom he loves. With seeing only the old man, it indicates to the protagonist to barely open the door to watch him, for the protagonist does not want to kill the old man, but rather isolate himself from the old man’s vulture eye forever.
