The Tell-Tale Heart
Point of view: The first person
Imagery: "all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones." Sounds:beating of the heart, watch
Metaphor: “I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.” , 'black as pitch' and 'ston dead'
Simile: "evil eye", and "eye of a vulture". heart is like the beating of a drum.
Personification: The use of the term "evil eye" is a personification because eyes can’t be evil. 'death cam in to the room'
Irony: the fact that he says that he is not mad and controls himself...but at the end he loses control and tells everything to the police.
