Review of The Tell Tale Heart

The Tell Tale Heart as published first in 1843. It is one of famous short stories and even to this day it is regularly anthologized.
The Tell Tale Heart is not just a story of adman though, it is also the story of a murder. The narrator shared a house with an old man and after days of careful planning and preparation the narrator murdered him. Although the narrator description of his crime is very detailed, much else in the story remains a mystery. The narrator never identifies himself and although it is usually presumed that this confession that masquerades as a declaration of sanity is coming from a woman.
I particularly enjoy the voice he uses for the old man and the echo effect added when he cries out "who's there?" adds a little extra creepiness. I also noticed that, as he tells the story, he gradually seems to become more and more unhinged and the way that Mr, Davies does this really brings the story life. I give him top marks for his telling of the story.
