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

The comedy Tartuffe‚ written by Jean-Babtiste Moliere‚ is undoubtedly a satire; the question is what is the poem a satire of: the Catholic religion itself‚ or the hypocrites within the Church and their corruption? I believe the latter to be the focus of Moliere’s commentary. It is apparent throughout Tartuffe that Moliere has an admiration for religion‚ as practiced by genuinely pious and humble individuals.

Those who hold the belief of Cultural Relativist‚ hold that all beliefs are completely relative to the individual within a cultural identity.

They believe that there
