Imagery, Irony, and Symbolism
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," situational irony occurs when the narrator, who insists on his sanity and meticulous planning, ultimately reveals his madness. He believes he can commit the perfect murder and escape detection, yet he becomes overwhelmed by guilt and paranoia. This culminates in him confessing to the crime, believing he hears the beating of the victim's heart, which leads to his downfall rather than the triumph he anticipated.
They did not hear the beating of the heart and our murderer exposed himself as such by revealing the hiding place of said heart to the police.
An example of irony in Tell-Tale Heart is when the narrator states "I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him." This is an example of irony because he is going to murder the old man and is showing a little joke because he was nice to him.
