Analysis of the Edgar Allan Poe story (The Tell-Tale Heart) Eng-Spn
Hello everyone, today I bring you an analysis of a short story by Edgar Allan Poe called The Tell-Tale Heart. This is a story that not only intrigues but also completely immerses us in the mind of a murderer.
The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. In my opinion, the story is quite impactful because it narrates the obsession of a man who lives with an old man and cannot bear his 'vulture' eye.
Poe situates the conflict almost exclusively inside the old man's house, creating a super tense, dark, and oppressive atmosphere. The protagonist, who is also the narrator, insists on his lucidity despite his clearly obsessive behavior.
Initially, he only seeks to get rid of the eye. However, after murdering the old man, he begins to hear the supposed heartbeat as if he were still alive.
This is the climactic moment, as the arrival of the police intensifies the perceived sound, causing the narrator to completely lose control. Finally, unable to bear the pressure, he confesses to the murder, naively believing that doing so will make the noise stop.
Guilt and obsession have an internal destructive power. It is impossible to escape one's own conscience, because sooner or later it catches up with you and forces you to confront your actions.
It is told in the first person, which makes the reader experience everything from the protagonist's perspective, and that's why everything becomes so desperate and full of suspense.

This analysis is part of a Spanish language and literature assignment I completed for my teacher @cositav.

Hola a todos, hoy les traigo un análisis de un cuento de Edgar Allan Poe llamado El Corazón Delator. Esta es una historia que no solo intriga, sino que nos sumerge por completo en la mente de un asesino.
El Corazón Delator, es un cuento escrito por Edgar Allan Poe. En mi opinión, la historia es bastante impactante porque narra la obsesión de un hombre que convive con un anciano y no soporta su ojo de 'buitre'.
Poe sitúa el conflicto casi exclusivamente en el interior de la casa del anciano, creando un ambiente súper tenso, oscuro y opresivo. El protagonista, que es también el narrador, insiste en su lucidez a pesar de su comportamiento claramente obsesivo.
Inicialmente, solo busca deshacerse del ojo. Sin embargo, tras asesinar al anciano, comienza a escuchar el supuesto latido del corazón como si este aún estuviera vivo.
Este es el momento álgido, ya que la llegada de la policía intensifica el sonido percibido, haciendo que el narrador pierda totalmente el control. Finalmente, no soporta la presión y confiesa el asesinato, creyendo ingenuamente que al hacerlo el ruido cesaría.
La culpa y la obsesión tienen un poder destructivo interno. Es imposible escapar de la propia conciencia, pues tarde o temprano esta te alcanza y te obliga a enfrentar tus actos.
Está contado en primera persona y eso hace que uno sienta todo desde la mente del protagonista, y por eso todo se vuelve tan desesperante y lleno de suspenso.

Este análisis forma parte de una actividad de castellano y literatura que realicé para mí profesora @cositav
