Abstract

In the popular short story the tell-tale heart, edgar Allen poe reveals the horrid theme that each person has a vicious wicked side or a dark side that can provoke the person into committing unthinkable sins for no apparent reason. poe was an expert in writing thrillers which the psyche of the main character would be challenged. After reading a story by poe, the reader often asks whether he/she could possibly do such an evil act. the tell-tale heart is a perfect example of how a person could be driven to commit the most horrendous act of murder for just a simple everyday object. A human being has a perverse, wicked side-another self-that can goad him into doing evil things that have no apparent motive.
