In the first paragraph, how does the

narrator describe himself? Identify any

contradictions in his description.

The narrator describes himself as “very dreadfully

nervous,” but not mad. He acknowledges that he has a

disease, but claims that it has made his senses more

acute, allowing him to hear things in heaven, in earth, and

in hell. He also describes himself as healthy and calm,

which contradicts his earlier claim that he is nervous and

diseased.

dulled – lacking keenness

of perception in the

senses or feelings

acute – sharp; keen

In the second paragraph, what

contradiction does the narrator describe

concerning his opinion of the old man?

The narrator says, “I loved the old man. He had never

wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I

had no desire.” But then he continues on to say that the

old man’s pale blue eye “resembled that of a vulture” and

made his blood run cold, so he made up his mind to kill

the old man in order to get rid of the eye forever.

In the third paragraph, how does the

narrator behave in front of the old man?

How does this contrast with his intentions

and actions?

would inquire how he had passed the night. In reality,

however, he was planning to end the life of the old man.

He was sneaking into the old man’s room every night and

watching him while he slept, but he could never commit

the murder because the old man’s eye was always closed.
