Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperbole in “The Tell-Tale Heart” Near the beginning of the story, Poe’s narrator says, “My sense of hearing especially became more powerful. I could hear sounds I had never heard before. I heard sounds from heaven; and I heard sounds from hell!” This exaggeration, which clearly is not possible, serves two purposes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, attempting the perfect crime, complete with dismembering the body in the bathtub and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator’s actions result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man’s beating heart.
