Freudian Analysis of Edgar Allen Poe’s a Tell Tale Heart

A Freudian Analysis of The Tell-Tale Heart By Edgar Allen Poe As an view psychologist analyzing this accused run intoer, I have effectuate a few detect pieces of evidence that ultimately lead me to the decision that the receiver is in concomitant mad and I recomm rest psychological rehabilitation as strong as discard sentence as a proper penalization for the crime committed. Although, he claims he can recount the night of the murder healthily and calmly it is not proof enough to disregard his insaneness.The murderer insists that he loved the centenarian(a) gentle patchs gentleman which I believe is doubtless true. As far as my knowledge goes he was stuck in a paradox of love and hate. With that said I know that people sometimes tend to harm the people they love. He claims he was not aft(prenominal) the old man by any greedy or vengeful means, He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire By saying this, he makes it clear that he has bear awayd any motives that norm eithery inspire a murderer.Instead he describes his arrested development with the old mans, caribe eye as what makes him tick. To everyone except the murderer, the arrested development with the old mans blue eye is unexplainable. The only index number given is that the eye makes his blood run cold so a good deal so that he thought the only just way to eliminate this problem was to end the old mans life each(prenominal) to casther. Additionally, when he exclaims his plans to rid himself of the eye forever, subconsciously he wants to rid the old man of the eye because it is evil.However, it is apparent that the murderer does not comprehend that he cannot isolate the man from his eye, and that if he tries he will have killed the man too not just the eye. In his mind, he has separated the mans identity, which is pleasant and agreeable, from his vulture eye, which is descri have it away as evil and eerie. By doing so, the murderer has now justifie d to himself his capability of murdering the old man. Ultimately, the obsession with the vulture eye is irrational and is by no means a credible motive to murder an innocent man.The murderers heightened sensitivity to die is yet another piece of evidence that proves his insanity. He says, Above all the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in promised land and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. What that means to him, we whitethorn not know, but to a listener he is just proving himself crazy. He first encounters the loud sound of the old mans drubbing heart while he is still alive in his bed on the night of the murder, I knew that sound well too.It was the beating of the old mans heart. It increased my fury as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage. Not only is this testimony of paranoia, it also disproves his headmaster claim he is not insane, because a sound that cant be heard from a distance at all was capricious his rage to attack the old man. Then again at the end of his story, he claims he heard the sound of the beating heart and it lot him to admit to the crime, while the police were investigating the old mans house. The ringing became more distinct I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling but it continued and gained definitiveness until, at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my ears. This is a clear display of the murderers extreme guilt and paranoia. Not only do I firmly believe this murderer should be sentenced to many years jail for the crime he committed, it is in his best interest to regain his sanity if possible through some psychological therapy program.
