Answer: We’ll I have never read the book in person but I have an idea of what it’s about but I will see if I can help:

Explanation:I think that it is because the old mans heart beats were the reason of the narrators breakdown. They were pressuring the narrator to tell the truth. It was almost as if the old man was still alive persuading the narrator to tell the truth, but the old man didn’t need to do that. He only needed the narrators anxiety issues to do that. Between the eye, the anxiety, the heart beat, even the police, the narrator felt trapped in his own web that has been weaved every time be even looked at the old man. This story is about anxiety, remorse, sadness, guilt. The old man didn’t need to tell on the narrator. The narrator did that himself. In conclusion, it’s called “the tell-tales heart” because it was the heart that told on the narrator to the police, at least not directly. When we think of tell-tale, we think of someone who tells on people and exposes them, that is exactly what the heart did, but he did it in a way that would guilt and posses the narrator to do it himself.

Hope this helps!

The poem "Tell-Tale Heart" written by Edgar Allen Poe significance is how Edgar killed a man who had one eye. The man was sweet and nice to Poe but, Poe could not stand the man for his "vulture" eye. Poe stated in the poem "His glossy, cold stare sent chills up my body." Poe had waited several nights, just watching the man sleep waiting for the perfect moment to kill him. Poe waited for 8 nights I believe, on the 8th night Poe suffocated the man with a pillow. Poe waited for the crying and screaming from the old man to die low. When the man went quite Poe had cut his body parts and put them underneath the floor boards. Poe heard the man's heartbeat even after the man died. A few hours later the police came and asked Poe about the noises due to complaints from neighbors since the screaming and crying was so loud. Poe was interrogated in the old man's room. Poe was drivin crazy from the old mans heartbeat that he claimed to still heard. When he kept hearing the beating in his ears he broke. Telling the cops everything that happened, however at the end of the story it was his own heart that was beating.
