The narrator in Tell-Tale Heart pleas that he is not mentally insane. He believes that because he is cunning, and sneaky. This man plans to kill his boss, not because of hatred, but because of his eye. Despite his caution, he still proves insane in my eyes.
The narrator decides to murder his boss. He is only doing so because of his boss's eye. The eye "haunts" him. So the narrator watches his boss for several nights, cautiously moving. And when he decides to kill him, he smothers his boss with the mattress he was sleeping on, cuts his boss's body to pieces and stuffs the body parts in the floor boards. The only smart things the narrator did was cut the body in the bath tub and putting the pieces in the floor.
Though the narrator is wise, he proves to be insane. He murdered his boss because his boss had a strange eye. The narrator also watched his boss sleep for eight days before he murdered his boss, which I don’t really understand why he did that, that makes me think he's even more insane. In my opinion, the narrator is insane.
