Summary of Tell-Tale Heart.

An insane man's scandal for murder of an old man because his pale blue eye evoked the fear deep inside him, waiting to break free. But of course, he doesn't know that and what really through the readers off hook is that he saw this whole event as completely normal, and he was simply being a profound murderer who was not "insane" Anyway, I'm completely off topic ( again) so please allow me to summarize the tale of the Tell-tale heart. The story started out with a man claiming he was not insane, simply nervous. And that, he explained his motivation of murdering an old man whom he like, but feared( his pale blue eye scared him.), after a few nights of toss and turns, the crazy lunatic made up his mind to kill him, and this get rid of that eye forever. For many nights, he crept into the old man's room with such caution and dissimulation seemingly( at least according to him) impossible for an insane man to do, and observed the old man in his sleep. He also seemed entirely unaware of his own presence, so finally at the night he stroke for kill. The old man had sensed danger and was trembling in his own bed when he took his last breath. The lunatic than dissembled his body parts and buried them under the floors of his bed room chamber. The police than came for inspection, and he admitted his actions because he thought he heard the old man's hideous heart beating.
