What is wrong with this man? In the short story "The Tell Tale Heart", a man who is nameless sneaks into another man's room and waits an hour to kill him. The unknown man had somehow killed this man without any weapons or finger prints showing. He then took the dead man and put him in the bathtub of the room and cut of all of his limbs and buried him under the floorboards. So is this man insane?
In many minds this man is insane, and in my mind he is insane. To be insane means to be mentally deranged or utterly senseless. This unknown man has proven that he is insane not only for killing a man and cutting off his limbs for no reason, but for also telling everyone and repeating I am not insane. Another symptom of being Insane is to be in denial. The unknown man was in denial the whole story and also was crazy when putting the body under the floorboards while laughing. When the man was laughing it wasn't a humorous laugh, it was an evil victorious laugh. Evil is also another way of saying insane, to harm innocent people is cross the line and crazy. If you were to call this man sane, then it would be sane to be cannibal or any other way of killing others.
Many other people might say it is completely normal in human nature for a person to die or be killed; didn't we have a war to stay free from other countries? The man then is considered normal and is innocent, but what normal man cuts off the corpse of another man's body for the thrill for the excitement, for no good reason. There isn't a way this man can be innocent because of the harm and things he has done I believe strongly this man is guilty and is insane.
