Detailed explanation-1: -In ‘’The Tell-Tale Heart, ‘’ Poe produces a mood of tension and suspense as the narrator toys with the notion of his own madness right at the beginning of the story. As it is entirely a confession of a murder, the mood is quite dark and unsettling.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among “The Tell-Tale Heart” vocabulary words, the word acute is used to state perceptiveness and a high level of ability. The narrator says that “what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense."
Detailed explanation-3: -The tone of ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ is complex, mixing a sense of tension and sadness and paranoia to paint a picture of the narrator as terribly ill in his heart. Poe adds in a trace of arrogance to the unbalanced voice of the narrator and uses short sentences to show racing thoughts .
