Tell-Tale Heart
Storyboard Text
- On the eight night the man heard a noise but as it was "pitch black" the narrator stayed still during an hour and knew that the old man was feeling fear, that even though he didn't see him he felt his presence. He claimed to hear his "heart beat louder and louder" utill he opened the candle slightly.  "A single dim ray, like the thread of the spider, shot from out the crevice and full upon the vulture eye". After observing it for a couple of minutes he decided to take the action. He grabbed the old man and burried him under his heavy bed, killing the old man.
- The narrator tells us that he is not mad and that he is not mad and that "the disease has sharpened his senses" specialy his hearing, he sais he can now hear people from hell and heaven.
- Why will you say that I am mad?
- The narrator clims to have dismembered the corpse. He cut off the head and the arms and the legs all in the bathtub so that there was no evidence and then he went (with the dimemberd corpse) to the chamber where he lifted a few planks from the floor and hid the desfigurated body so no one found it. He heard a kocking on the door.
- The narrator procedes to tell us that he wants to kill his master, an old man but not because he hated him, he actually "lived the old man, he had never wronged him" and not did he want his golb but what he hated was the old man's pale blue eye that resembled a vulture.
- I made up my mind to take the life of the oldman, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever.
- The police came because a neighbour called them after hearing a scream. He convinced them that he was innocent and he drived them to the chamber where he put the chair just on top of the wooden planks above the body. It all went as planed untill the narrator thought th "police could hear the heartbeats and were moking him"" and proceeds to show them the body.
- The narrator procedes to indicate us that he had been seven days, at twelve o'cloack, opening bit by bit the door of the old man's bedroom, taking an hour, and observing (opening slightly his candle) if he had his "evil eye" opened and because he didn't he just went, as he did not want to kill the old man but his eye.
- It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha!—would a madman have been so wise as this?
- A singledim ray, like the thread of the spider, shot from out the crevice and full upon the vulture eye.
- Would a mad man do this?
- Villains! Stop this derison!
