Edgar Allan Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart

Illustration: Harry Clarke, 1919
I have chosen three different aspects for your analysis of the short story:
- Narration and language
- Symbols and sounds
- Narrator and madness (+ the old man)

In your groups, you've worked on these aspects and the way in which they support, elaborate and exemplify our very broad hypothesis: A WEIRD MIND.

Please post notes and quotes from your group as comments below. They are for your fellow students and for you to use when you work together with another group who has worked on the same aspects.

If you find that something is missing from any of the notes, feel free to add you own ideas or ask questions to the group
