Question

I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety

seized me the sound would be heard by a neighbour!
The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw
open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked
once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor,
and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled gaily, to
find the deed so far done. But, for many minutes, the heart
beat on with a muffled sound. This, however, did not vex
me; it would not be heard through the wall. At length it
ceased. The old man was dead.

Answer 1

This entry is from Edgar Allan Poe's brief tale, "The Obvious Heart." The storyteller is portraying the way in which he killed an elderly person, and in this section, he is itemizing the second when he at long last kills the man. The storyteller is loaded up with uneasiness as he naturally suspects the elderly person's heart could explode, and somebody could hear it. Nonetheless, when he at last goes into the room, he just hears the man scream once before he pulls the elderly person to the floor and places the weighty bed over him. Albeit the heart keeps on thumping for quite a while, the storyteller isn't worried on the grounds that it won't be discernible through the wall. In the long run, the heart quits pulsating, and the elderly person is dead.
