How tension is created in The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe?
tension is created in the story when the policemen come. They kind of makes the antagonist guilty. Tension starts to build up after the committing of crime. But the tension only builds in the antagonist heart and head. You have to compare the outer peace of the room, the cool tea sipping by the policemen with the rage and thunderstorm building in the heart of the antagonist. In the heart of the antagonist the builds up after he hides the body. Even though he doesn’t worry about it, his heart does worry. YOu would have to step by step analyse each word of the story after the commitment of the crime and even before because the incidents proir to the crime also create tension, and the result of that tension is that he commits the murder. This is my view, but you should go check out from the following sites.
