In the 'tell tale heart' what parts of the poem remind you of real life [movies,books,poems, exc]?

Oh how I LOVE edgar allen poe lol. The tell tale heart is focused on the man telling a story of how an old man he worked for drove him to murder simply because he had a hazy blue eye that he was blind in and could not see through. He adored the old man other wise. When the old man was asleep he could not kill him because it was not him he hated, but his eye. One night when he startles the man he see's the eye open and crushes him with the mans own bed and buries him beneath the floor boards. As the police come knocking because there was a complain of a shriek, he invites them in, and is so cocky he lets them sit in the very room he buried the old man in.

Suddenly he hears a ringing that won't go away... (One only he appears to hear) and i drives him to the brink of madness again and he confesses to the police.

This story could reflect any story about predigest or hate due to lack of understanding. For example people born with mental retardation's, little people, deformities and things like that.

It could also be used to compare and contrast any murder mystery... this is a good example of why a man might kill... as illogical as it seems to us there really are people who think this way.

Good Luck.

In the tell tale heart the narrator claims "mad men know nothing" and is constantly trying to convince the reader that he is not mad because he is so swift, keen and smart in his ways of plotting his fathers murder. One movie that comes to mind is Murder By Numbers with Sandra Bullock is about these teenagers that are smart and bored, murder a girl "by the book" to see if they can get away with it. Look into it, you will see how it can relate to the poem. I'd try looking up plots and themes to movies on IMDB to find movies in which a character goes crazy of feels guilty for doing something wrong (not necessarily murder or crime.) Hope this helps.
