--I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. The Tell-Tale Heart 1197044122 This statement, to me, shows that the person telling the story was obviously with the old man for a long time and over time grew more and more annoyed with the eye. But it also makes me think that the narrator was not very sane. Obviously someone who gets annoyed by something so small so easily and it bothers them enough to make the decision to kill someone isn't okay. I think it's some kind of OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder. It just seemed kind of weird to me. If it was me in that situation I know if I started considering killing someone I would remove myself from the situation as soon as possible. It just doesn't make sense to me how a sane person could think this way and convince themselves that what they did is okay.
