    Analyzing The Tell Tale Heart Is a man too calm to be insane? The man in "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe seems to think so. He is a classic example of Poe ’s unreliable narrator‚ a man who cannot be trusted to tell the objective truth of what is happening. His unreliability becomes immediately evident in the first paragraph of the story‚ when he insists on his clarity of mind and attributes any signs of madness to his nervousness and oversensitivity‚ particularly in the area of hearing

Out of all the plays we have studies‚ I think that ‘’Waiting for Godot’’ and ‘’Blasted’’ are the ones in which the authors mostly used the Absurdist form to express their ideas but nevertheless through completely different styles. First of all ‘’Absurd’’ is commonly known as the philosophical
