Question

Which of the following excerpts from the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe best demonstrates the unreliability of the narrator?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearten! And

observe how healthily-how calmly I can tell

you the whole story."

Explanation:

: The narrator of "The Tell-Tale

Heart" is unreliable because in this excerpt he claims to hear something that is supernatural, and states that the proof is in his narration. His tone is nervous and shows that he is panicking while attempting to convince the

reader that he is calm, and not crazy.
