Initial Situation
Not insane! and the "Evil Eye"
The narrator wants to show that he is not insane, and offers a story as proof. In that story, the initial situation is the narrator's decision to kill the old man so that the man's eye will stop looking at the narrator.
Conflict
Open your eye!
The narrator goes to the old man's room every night for a week, ready to do the dirty deed. But, the sleeping man won't open his eye. Since the eye, not the man, is the problem, the narrator can't kill him if the offending eye isn't open.
Complication
The narrator makes a noise while spying on the old man, and the man wakes up - and opens his eye.
This isn't much of a complication. The man has to wake up in order for the narrator to kill him. If the man still wouldn't wake up after months and months of the narrator trying to kill him, now that would be a conflict.
Climax
Murder…
The narrator kills the old man with his own bed and then cuts up the body and hides it under the bedroom floor.
Suspense
Uh-oh, the police.
The narrator is pretty calm and collected when the police first show up. He gives them the guided tour of the house, and then invites them to hang out with him in the man's bedroom. But, the narrator starts to hear a terrible noise, which gets louder and louder, and…
Denouement
Make it stop, please!
Well, the noise gets even louder, and keeps on getting louder until the narrator can't take it anymore. Thinking it might make the noise stop, the narrator tells the cops to look under the floorboards.
Conclusion
The narrator identifies the source of the sound.
Up to this moment, the narrator doesn't identify the sound. It's described first as "a ringing," and then as "a low, dull, quick sound - much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton" (9). Only in the very last line does the narrator conclude that the sound was "the beating of [the man's] hideous heart!" (10)
"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe is about an unnamed narrator who insists on their sanity while describing their meticulous murder of an old man with a "vulture eye." The narrator becomes plagued by guilt and hallucinates the sound of the old man's heart beating beneath the floorboards, ultimately confessing the crime.
Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" offers a narrator who is trying very hard to prove to anyone reading this story that he is not insane, although it is very clear he is. He murders an old man because he believes the man's eye wouldn't stop looking at him. He then proceeds to cover up his crime by cutting up the body and burying it beneath the floor. This would have worked if he didn't imagine he was hearing the man's heartbeat, growing louder by the second, in his head. Not able to take it anymore, he tells the cops where the body is.

Other than the title, The Telltale Head being a play on The Telltale Heart the similarities lie in The Telltale Heart having the narrator, who is presumably the murderer, being haunted by the sound of the victim's beating heart. Bart, who is also the narrator of The Telltale Head briefly, is haunted by the voice of Jebidiah Springfield.
Mrs. Mallard suffers from heart trouble in "The Story of an Hour." Her fragile heart condition plays a significant role in the story's plot and development.

One example of onomatopoeia in "The Tell-Tale Heart" is the sound of the old man's heart beating loudly, which is described as "thump, thump, thump" as the narrator becomes more and more agitated by the noise.
The plot is what happens in the story -- it's not in one spot.
"The Story of the Aged Mother" is a Japanese folktale about a cruel ruler who issues a decree to kill all elderly people. An elderly mother and her son devise a plan for her escape to the mountain. Once there, the mother reveals herself as the spirit of the mountain and imparts wisdom to her son, saving him and teaching him the importance of respecting elders.

The plot of a story is crucial because it provides structure and purpose, guiding the narrative from beginning to end. It keeps readers engaged by creating suspense and tension, and allows for the development of characters and themes. A well-crafted plot helps to drive the story forward and leaves a lasting impact on the reader.
