The Tell-Tale Heart by Edger Allen Poe is one of the great short stories of our time. It personally struck me as captivating. I found that once I began to read this short story, I could not put it down. I wanted to devour every word and keep it in my mind forever. The story is one of moral ambiguity; the character wrestles with his conscious until his guilt prevails and he admits to the murder. Mr. Poe is a master at the craft of getting his audience enthralled in the story he presents, which is why I love this story so much. It not only gets a message across but also is so well crafted that I am beside myself when I read it.
