"’Villains!’- I shrieked, ‘disassemble no more! I admit to the
deed!-tear up the planks! - Here here! - it is the beating of his hideous
heart!’”
This quote is a personal favourite of mine from the tell-tale heart. I think the thing I enjoy the most about this quote is that the reader finally gets to see what the guilt of killing the man has done to him- it’s caused him to go mad and admit to his crime. This quote also shows how powerful guilt can be to a person’s subconscious. It also proves that he was mentally unstable, since he was hearing a sound that didn’t exist. I’m guessing he is beginning to question whether or not he’s so clever now.
