Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In The Tell-Tale Heart, the narrator is insane due to his paranoid personality disorder confirmed by hearing sounds, developing a plan for murder, and being obsessed with a single subject. Firstly, it is correct to say that the narrator’s mind is disturbed because of the sounds he hears.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most Poe narrators are unreliable first person narrators. This doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t show up when they say they will, but rather that they either can’t (or won’t) tell us what really happened. In this case, the narrator is trying to prove his sanity.
