Explore the similarities and differences between Collete's "The Murderer" and "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe.
In this essay I will write about "the Tell-Tale Heart" which was written in the nineteenth century, and "The Murderer" which was written in the twentieth century. I will compare them in a number of ways; language, settings, suspense, characters
In "The Tell-Tale Heart" the mood is typical of Edgar Allen Poe in that he wrote about murders in dark gothic houses this creates a mood of tension that something is about to happen suddenly and drives us to read faster and faster until suddenly the climax is upon the victims or sometimes, on a anti-climax. The narrator uses short sentences that are filled with active verbs to describe the story. Whereas the mood in "The Murderer" is quite calm and non-threatening. There is no haste to the words. This is very different to "The Tell-Tale Heart".
