That Character

There is always a character of a book you are reading or have read, that you dislike, and that character for me is the murderer on the short story written by Edgar Allan Poe named "The Tell Tale Heart". To begin, "The Tell Tale Heart" is a short story that was first published in 1843, and it follows and unnamed narrator that insists on his sanity after committing a murder, to an old man with a "vulture eye". The murder is extremely calculated so much that with no trouble it was almos impossible for the police to catch him, after ther murder the murderer dismembered the body and hid the parts under the floorboards.

Well, I dislike the murderer´s character for many reasons, but one of the most important is the way he kills the old man, when he is absolutely with no power of fighting back, the old man with the vulture eye in completely unaware of what is going on. I like a good old book murder, but for some reason, or maybe because of the character I didn´t enjoy this one. Also, the whole process the murderer made before the murder indeed. He used to go to the old man´s room every night, for seven nights, but he described that he wasn´t able to kill him because he didn´t hate the old man, just his eye, and the eye was closed. But on the eighth night he sees the eye opened and showing his clouded, pale blue colour and kills him.

The murderer also insists on his sanity even after the murder, when just by committing murder and dismembering it´s know that you are not sane, he keeps insisting on it, and uses the excuse that the plan was to good and controlled that an insane person wouldn´t be able to make it. The murderer continues with his insanity and because of it he develops a disease, which is developed by nervousness, too, the sickness it´s called "over-acuteness of the senses". Because of the "disease" the murder believes in the hallucination of the old man´s beating heart, under the floorboards, he listens to the beats so loud and clear he comes forward to the cops.
