Edgar Allan Poe made sure the reader knew more than the secondary character in his short story to build suspense. For the entire week before he murdered the old man, the main character crept into his bedroom every night, and observed the man while he slept. “I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in the bed… He was still sitting up in the bed, listening;--just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.” From the beginning, the audience knew the man would be murdered, and the suspense built from this knowledge.

One example of this in the lantern depicted in the story. The narrator uses the lantern as a tool for his murder of the old man, and describes how he enters the man’s room for a week, every night, and, “[the narrator] undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye,” (Poe 1).
