tell-tale heart

Topic 13 In ”The Tell-Tale Heart” the narrator maintains that he is not ”mad.” On the basis of evidence in the story, what does the narrator mean by ”mad”? How does he try to prove it? On the basis of evidence in the story, what do the others (the policeman, the author, the reader) mean by ”mad?” As the story opens, Poe's unnamed narrator has decided to get rid of an older man with whom he lives; whether it is his employer, his uncle, his grandfather, we do not know. There is no reason for this decision, except for the fact that the narrator dislike the way the old man looks at him with his ”vulture eyes.” ”True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?” The Tell-tale heart is all about how the narrator is trying to convice us that he is not mad, but he only proves that he clearly is.
