Question

Read Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” and diagram the plot structure of the story. Provide details from the “The Tell-Tale Heart” for each part of the plot. At the exposition phase, note the characters, setting, and conflicts. You can simply type in text for each part of the plot.

I have severe ommetaphobia/ommatophobia and seeing as the short story circles around eyes, I can't find myself able to read the whole thing without going into sweats and feeling queasy and I was hoping someone could help me out a bit.

Answer 1

Oh yes i love this story he's a crazy man lol anyway Exposition:when we meet the characters: the narrator, who repeatedly insists on his sanity, and the old man, whose pale, blue eye so disturbs the narrator.
Rising Action:all of the 7 nights that the narrator is obsessing over the old man's open eye and plotting to kill him.
Climax: when the narrator kills the old man.
Falling Action:when the narrator hears the old man's heart beating from beneath the floor boards.
