The language and point of view in “ Tell- tale – Hearts” Edgar Allan Poe made “Tell – Tale – Hearts” story special for the reader. It is a study of paranoia and mental deterioration. He combines the narrator and protagonist. Poe writes this story from the perspective of the murderer of the old man. When an author creates a situation tell a personal account, the general shock of the story is sharp. In my opinion, it is greats story because of using of language and the point of view in the story.
First, Poe used hid word economically in the “Tell – Tale – Hearts”. Poe strips the story of excess detail as a way to heighten the murderer’s obsession with specific and unadorned entities: the old man’s eyes, the heartbeat, and hid own claim to sanity. Poe’s economic style and pointed language thus contribute to the narrative content, and perhaps this association of form and content exemplifies paranoia. And also, Poe’s particular use of language makes the reader understand the narrator. The disjointed and prolonged sentence structure reflects his crazed mind and this is show in the opening paragraph by the repeat use of hyphens. Another point to make the story is interesting is the point of view in the story. The pointed view in the story that contributed to the total effect was point of view. It is in first person point of view in the story, and if it weren’t, the story would not be the same. If you knew what the old man was thinking, then what the murderer thought he was thinking would be absolutely irrelevant in the story, because you would know what he thought the old guy was thinking was what he was really thinking or if he was thinking about something totally different. That is thing to make a reader keep reading the story and don’t feel bored.
In conclusion, “Tell- Tale- Hearts” is great. As you can see, the language and the point of view in the story make story become really interesting in the total effect of the story “Tell-
