Throughout his literary career‚ Edgar Allan Poe applied irony to his stories. By doing this‚ his disturbing and odd tales became stories of mental and psychological twists and terror that trouble readers. Poe uses irony in “The Tell-Tale Heart” to increase mental tension by making the murderer in the story confess the crime that he so carefully planned. The man goes mad by fault of his own conscious and if he had not confessed‚ the murder would have been a success. Just as in “The Tell-Tale

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the nine step technique because of the manipulative nature it uses.
