The narrator hears an increasingly loud thumping sound, which he believes to be his victim's beating heart. This sound eventually drives him to reveal his crime and confess.

The conflict in the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," by Edgar Allan Poe is the old man's evil eye. The killer (younger man) could not stand the eye. The killer described it like "A vulture's eye." The man had nothing against the older man, it was only his 'Evil eye!"
Central Conflict: Man vs. Self

The narrator struggles through admitting to the murder of the old man in a very chaotic-psychological manner. His mind brings the dead character back to life (through the beating of the heart), to a point of psychological break down.

Lesser Conflict:

Man vs. Man: when the narrator kills the old man

The narrators attempt to cling to sanity.

I say it's the voice of conscience nagging a man who thought he was above common morality .
