Answer 2

Answer:

The narrator is afraid of being seen as mad or insane, but beneath that lies his almost unbearable fear of his own terrors. The narrator protests too much when he says it could not be pain or grief that made the old man groan: "oh, no!" Of course, the narrator has no way of knowing why the old man groaned.
