The murderer in the story Tell-Tale Heart tries to convince you that he is a sane person. However, this guy is full blown psycho who needs to be put in a mental hospital and be put in a straight jacket in a room with foam walls and floors. He killed a man just because he had a weird eye which wasn’t he old man’s fault, and he goes and suffocates this poor man with a mattress and cuts his body into pieces. There is no way this man could be sane, he is completely wacko.
The murderer in the story Tell-Tale Heart, who throughout the story tries to convince you that he is sane, retells the story of how he killed an old man. He did not hate this old man, he actually like him, but the old man had a bad eye that drove the killer insane. In the beginning the murderer says that he believes he has super human hearing. That already would make you think there was something wrong with him. For a week the murderer stalks this old man, learning where he sleeps and what his routine is. To me, that is pretty scary. So eventually he kills the poor old man, suffocating him to death. He then cuts the body up in the bath tub and hides the parts underneath the floorboards. He cut the body up in the bathtub to wash away the blood and leave no trace of the old man. He believes that instead of him being insane for that, he says that he is sane because only a sane person would have been so smart to take all the precautions he took. Personally I believe that it doesn't matter, he still killed a man for practically no reason.
I believe that the murderer is insane. I think this is true because of how he stalked the old man, hated the old man because of his most likely diseased eye, and then killed him because of it. That is enough to show that he is truly insane.
