∙ 12y agoThe character is the murderer who kills an old man with a deficient eye. In the beginning he denies that he is crazy for doing such a thing, but really is crazy because of the fact he killed the old man because of paranoia. He eventually loses his cool for murdering the old man to the police when he thinks he hears a heart pounding from the floorboards (believing that it is the old man's heart in which the character chopped up his corpse and buried it under the floorboards).
