It is a study of paranoiaHow does the author make his story-telling effective?Edgar Allan Poe made this story special for the reader. It is a studyof paranoia and mental deterioration. First of all, he combines the teller and the garter. Poe writes this story from theperspective of the murderer of the old man. When an author creates asituation where the protagonist tells a personal account, the generalshock of the story is sharp. The narrator, in this incident story,adds to the effect of horror by continually stressing to the readerthat he is not mad, and tries to convince us of that fact by howcarefully this brutal crime was plan and executed.. It issurprising, because the criminals frequently deny their crimes.The reader doesnt know much about the protagonist, not even his nameor his sex, using only I and me in reference to his character. Itcould as well be a young man or an old lady. While he tells his tale,the narrator uses a cold and actual tone. He uses a lot of vocabularyin reference with death and suffering, as to create an atmospherewhere the reader could feel uneasy, such as Whenever it set down upon memy blood ran cold.The narrator stresses the reader that he is not mad, and tries toconvince him of that fact by showing how carefully his crime wasplanned and executed.

Poe strips thestory of a river of detail as a way to intensify the murderersobsession with the old mans eye, the heartbeat, and his own claim tosanity.Allan Edgar Poe, wrote a strong story, with an unusual point of view.Following, the criminal in his long way down to madness, and hisresistance towards the truth. Hes the one with a problem, not theeye. But the reader is supposed to be convince at the end of hisspeech that hes not mad, but they finally, think he isnt justnervous as he says, but mad.
