The Madman In The Tell-Tale Heart By Edgar Allan Poe
There are many thrilling stories with characters who get scared or are the scary ones. The one I think is interesting is a book about a crazy character. In the story, “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, The madman is a character who thinks he is not sane, but actually is. The Madman is a sane character because he can hear things, see things, and does crazy things.
The character, the Madman, is insane because he says he can hear things. Usually people would say, “I can hear the cars and people talking outside,” but this character is different. The Madman tells us that he can hear things from heaven, the Earth, and in hell, which is unusual. In the text it says, “I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in …show more content…
Most people would do things such as playing activities, building stuff, Talking with friends, etc. but the Madman still does things differently. The Madman would kill a person because of an irritation of his, which is the old man’s eye. After stalking him for even nights, he finally kills the man when he is wide awake on the eighth night. Whats even more insane is what he does to the dead body of the old man. The Madman at this point still thinks he is still not mad/sane, but when he killed the old man, he cut him up limb by limb and put him between planks in the wooden floor. In the text it says, “I cut off the head and the arms and the legs.I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. I then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye --not even his --could have detected anything wrong.” This tell us that the Madman is sane and doesn't realize it. Cutting up pieces of a body and later placing them between wooden planks is really crazy. This proves the Madman is insane and yet again is wrong about the idea of him not being crazy.
Overall In the story, “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, The madman is a character who thinks he is not sane, but actually is. This Madman is insane because he can hear things, see things, and does crazy things. First, he hears stuff such as thing from Heaven, Earth,
