Talkin' Tell-Tale: Themes & Thoughts of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe

“The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe was first published in 1843 (viriginia.edu) and depicts the ramblings of a person as they recount their murder of an elderly man with a vulture eye. In this inaugural episode, we will discuss our initial encounter with “The Tell-Tale Heart” and thoughts coming back to it now, as well as the strange narration style and theme of the story.

We also cover the cause of the vulture eye, a possible insanity plea from the killer, and Jon proposes a theory that maybe the killer and victim are one and the same.
