  • EXPOSITION
  • conflict
  • RISING ACTION
  • Before telling the story, the narrator convinces us that he is not a madman. We learn that he is the caretaker of an old wealthy man.
  • CLIMAX
  • Something about the old man haunts him and makes his blood boil. It was the old man's eye. The narrator describes it as a pale blue eye, with a film over it. His eye was the only thing that bothered him about the man—not his wealth, personality, or attitude. To end the relentless torture it was doing to his mind, he planned to kill the old man.
  • FALLING ACTION
  • He took every move at midnight very cautiously and discreetly for a week. However, could never kill the man. It's because the only thing he wanted to annihilate was his eye. And if his eyes were closed and he couldn't see the 'evil eye', there wasn't any anger in him enough to kill the man.
  • RESOLUTION
  • Finally, one night, the old man woke up after hearing a tiny sound and was filled with so much anxiety and fear, that he couldn't go back to sleep. The evil eye was haunting him again—he had to end it right that second. The old man shrieked in fright, was dragged to the floor, and was killed by putting the heavy bed over him until he suffocated.
  • After dismembering the corpse and cleaning every single drop of blood in the room of the murder fastidiously, three police officers arrived. The neighbors apparently heard someone shrieking and reported it to the authorities. The narrator welcomed them politely and allowed them to look around the house to prove that nothing unusual or violent happened. The narrator starts to get anxious.
  • The old man's heartbeat in the narrator's head gets progressively louder as time goes by, while the police officers wouldn't stop chatting. He was getting impatient. Exhausted. Out of breath. Out of control. What stems from all of this is his guilt. Once again, he had to end it right that second. He confessed to the murder and told them to tear up the planks.
