Unreliable narrator

In Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting tale, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator’s descent into madness unfolds with chilling clarity. Narrated in the first person, the story immerses readers in the narrator’s unraveling psyche as they obsess over an elderly man’s vulture-like eye. This eye, symbolizing an unknown malevolence, becomes the focal point of the narrator’s growing paranoia and eventual murder.
