Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -At first it seems the narrator is simply personifying death. He’s also referring to himself as Death, with a capital D – the nemesis of the “Evil Eye.” The narrator is the stalker, and his shadow is black (because there is no light; this is before the opening of the lamp).
Detailed explanation-2: -This symbolizes the lack of closure that murder brings and the way our “crimes can haunt us even when we believe they are dead and buried”. The heartbeat would be from the narrator’s own heart, not the old man’s heart because the narrator just killed a man which would then make him feel overwhelmed with guilt.
