- The Narrator begins the story by explaining how he's not crazy.
- I love the old man, he's never wronged me or insulted me but what was bothering me was his eye. He had the eye of a vulture and it haunted me day and night. I made up my mind to kill the old man, thus getting rid of his eye forever .
- I have to get rid of that eye
- Hello!

- You should have seen how wisely I proceeded. with what caution with what foresight with what dissimulation I went to work. Every night, at about midnight, I went to the old man's room and watched him sleep.
- what was that sound?
- RISING ACTION
- CLIMAX
- Upon the eighth night I was more than usually cautious in opening the door. The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked once and only once. In an instant I dragged him onto the floor and pulled the heavy bed over him. The old man was dead.
- Now your eye will trouble me no more!!
- At four o'clock, still dark in the middle of the night, police officers came and said a shriek was heard by the neighbor. They started asking questions about the old man. I answered them fearlessly. The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them.
- The old man is simply out of town!
- FALLING ACTION
- May we have a look around then?
- There was something wrong. I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. I was hearing a ringing in my ears. and it only grew louder and louder! Could they not hear it? I felt the need to scream and I could bear the ringing for no longer. Alas, I confessed to what I had done.
- Villains! Dissemble no more, I admit the deed!!
- THE END
