A

Answer 52

A

The mood of “The Tell-Tale Heart” is tense, eerie, and suspenseful. Poe creates a feeling of anxiety and dread through the narrator’s obsessive thoughts and heightened emotions. The use of vivid imagery and unsettling details contributes to a sense of impending doom. As the story progresses, the mood becomes increasingly frantic, reflecting the narrator’s deteriorating mental state. Overall, it immerses the reader in a world of paranoia and guilt, enhancing the story’s psychological horror.

Answer 53

A

The tone of “The Tell-Tale Heart” is both confessional and manic. The narrator speaks directly to the reader, attempting to justify his actions while revealing his unstable mental state. There’s a mix of arrogance and desperation in his voice, as he oscillates between rationalization and paranoia. This creates an unsettling atmosphere, as the narrator’s obsession with the old man’s eye and the murder itself reveals a deep internal conflict. Overall, the tone evokes both sympathy and horror, drawing the reader into the complexity of the narrator’s psyche.

Answer 54

A

“The Tell-Tale Heart” is told from a first-person point of view, narrated by an unreliable protagonist. This perspective allows readers to dive deeply into the narrator’s thoughts and emotions, creating an intimate yet disconcerting experience.

The use of first-person narration heightens the sense of immediacy and intimacy, making the reader feel as if they are experiencing the narrator’s descent into madness firsthand. However, because the narrator is unreliable, readers must question his version of events, which adds layers of tension and ambiguity. This point of view amplifies the horror, as it forces readers to grapple with the narrator’s distorted perceptions and the unsettling nature of guilt and insanity.

Answer 55

A

In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” several key motifs enhance the themes and emotional impact of the story:

Eyes: The old man’s eye symbolizes the protagonist’s obsession and madness. It represents his irrational fears and the idea of seeing truth and guilt.

Heartbeat: The heartbeat motif signifies guilt and paranoia. It grows louder as the story progresses, ultimately overwhelming the narrator and symbolizing his internal torment.

Darkness and Light: The contrasts between light and darkness highlight the themes of sanity and madness, as well as the struggle between truth and deception.

Madness: The motif of madness underscores the narrator’s fragile mental state and the blurred line between sanity and insanity.

Violence: References to violence emphasize the horror of the act and the psychological consequences that follow, illustrating the depth of the narrator’s guilt.

Answer 56

A

After one’s wrongdoings, guilt is the biggest punishment.

Answer 57

A

In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” several key motifs enhance the themes and emotional impact of the story:

Heartbeat: The heartbeat motif signifies guilt and paranoia. It grows louder as the story progresses, ultimately overwhelming the narrator and symbolizing his internal torment.

Darkness and Light: The contrasts between light and darkness highlight the themes of sanity and madness, as well as the struggle between truth and deception.

Madness: The motif of madness underscores the narrator’s fragile mental state and the blurred line between sanity and insanity.

Violence: References to violence emphasize the horror of the act and the psychological consequences that follow, illustrating the depth of the narrator’s guilt.

Answer 58

A

*Eyes represent perception, awareness, and truth. The narrator names the old man’s eye as the reason he has to kill him, which suggests he wants to be seen and known. Poe’s references to the eye as “evil” also suggest a commonly held belief in the supernatural ability to cast a curse with a malevolent glare.

There are other more specific resonances to the old man’s eye. The narrator calls it a vulture’s eye. Since vultures are scavengers that eat dead things, this eye signals how central death is to the story. It also symbolizes the old man’s authority. (Critics who read the narrator as female read this authority as specifically male. This idea of the “male gaze” is part of psychoanalytic theory.) Finally, just as the clicking insects provide a distorted imitation of the old man’s heart, so the narrator’s lantern echoes the old man’s eye. The first seven nights he sneaks into the bedroom the lantern is closed, and so is the old man’s eye. The eighth night, the old man opens his eye and the narrator opens his lantern—and the actions that follow “cast light” on the narrator’s mad and murderous nature.

The Heart

As the eye represents intelligence, the heart represents emotion. The inclusion of both symbols in the story creates a war between reason and emotion. The narrator emphasizes his own reasoned, meticulous plotting, focusing on his ingenuity in executing and covering up his crime. However, it is passion that drives the narrator to kill the old man (whose eye can be seen as representing intelligence) and passion that drives him to confess. In both cases this passion is symbolized by the heart that beats impossibly loudly.

The House

By trying to hide the body of the murdered old man beneath the floorboard, the narrator is symbolically trying to hide the guilt of his crime in his subconscious. However, things repressed or hidden in the subconscious always return, leaking into normal consciousness, as the dead but pounding heart does in this story. The police can be seen as the voice of conscience, and even though they never speak in the story the narrator’s own guilt reveals itself.
