In the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator is a crazy man who tries to convince readers that he is sane. Therefore, we can say the narrator is:
Not reliable.
- We say someone is reliable when we can trust them. We believe they tell the truth and they do what they say they do.
- However, in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," we cannot trust the narrator.
- He is insane, but tries to prove he is not. To do that, he tells the reader how calculated and cold he was when he murdered an old man.
- To the narrator, his being careful, meticulous, is a sign of his sanity.
- The reason the narrator gives for killing the man is even worse than the action. He says the man had a vulture-like eye, which the narrator could not stand.
- Therefore, we cannot trust what he says. That makes the narrator unreliable.
