“He saw that he was stone dead. His eye would be trouble no more.” (Poe, 1843) In the horror story, “A Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, it revolves around a first-person view of an unnamed narrator. He is dedicated to killing an old man, because of his “eye of a vulture.” After 8 long nights of waiting and planning, he skillfully kills an old man that never troubled him.
