What are the similarities and differences between Akutagawa’s “In a Grove” and Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart?” Pick one of the three main characters from In a Grove (the husband, the wife, or the bandit). Using this character’s story to represent Akutagawa’s narration, compare and contrast Poe and Akutagawa’s depictions of the unreliable narrator.

Sagot :

Both stories are about Crime. Takehiko is murdered and Masago is rapped in "In a Grove" while an Old man is murdered by the Narrator in "The Tell-Tale Heart".

Analysis of Characters

One major difference is that there is a stint of metaphysical theme in "In a Grove" While Masago tries to murder her husband in the book "In a Grove", The Narrator is the murderer in "The Tell-Tale Heart".

After Masago killed her husband, she tries to stab herself in the neck and drown herself. This attempt failed.

The narrator on the other hand - "The Tell-Tale Heart" after attempting to hide his crime confesses because of his own heartbeat.

In a way, both the Narrator and Masago seemed to develop a conscience after their crime has been committed.
