The Tell Tale Heart Quizzes Online & Trivia

The answer to this is a little tricky. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, and he’s well known for his unreliable narrators. He was also an American writer, so if the answer were really “mad”, it would have to be in the British sense of the word: crazy. The story centers on a man that has murdered his friend, and buried the body under the floorboards of his house. The police come to find the friend, and all this man can hear is the “thump thump” of his friend’s heart. Since the heart died with the body, it cannot thump any more. Therefore, the man is trying to convince the audience, and the police, that he’s not crazy.

In the beginning of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”, the main character is pretty nervous. This can be figured out by simply evaluating and reading the first paragraph of the story. There is a lot of repetition of “ill” and “mad”. When repetition like this happens, it’s often because the person speaking is nervous. A nervous habit of repetition could mean that this person has more than just a bit of lunch on his mind. This typically denotes that the person is hiding something. It may be a secret or something worse. Furthermore, as you read the story, you find that he had good reason to be nervous. That said, I won’t spoil the story for those who haven’t read it before.
