2 It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. ( Deliberate)

Its reliance on mystery and suspense makes the passage of "The Tell-Tale Heart" a typical example of gothic literature.

A feeling of uneasiness and foreboding is produced by the narrator's fixation on the elderly man's eye as well as the steady intensification of tension as she plans the murder. A joyful ending, a logical incident, or a considerable amount of emotional turmoil are not necessary characteristics of gothic fiction, yet these components are absent from the passage.

The narrator's obsession with the old man's eye and choice to kill him both contribute to the unsettling mood that is a staple of gothic literature. It is obvious that the old man was innocent. The narrator states that the old man had never done anything wrong. He was a kind man who had never mistreated him or insulted him.

Therefore, Its reliance on mystery and suspense makes the passage of "The Tell-Tale Heart" a typical example of gothic literature.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. She had been the source of all his wealth; she had peopled his plantation with slaves; she had become a great-grandmother in his service. She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever.
