    The Tell-Tale Heart

    The first text which we studied is "The Tell-Tale Heart", a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. In fact we had to analyze it during a test.

    Clic here to download the short story

    It's a story of a man who decides to kill an old man because he is afraid by his "vulture eye". He spies upon him every night and he waits for the good moment. But will he manage to kill the old man ? What will it happen later?

    It's a very terrible short story, so be careful, reader, The worst is yet to come...

    Here are two short films based on the short story of Poe, good viewing!

    It's a very good idea you had to put these two videos. Which ones best conveys the atmosphere of Poe's short story, do youthink?

    Thank you for your comment ! 

    To my mind, the best adaptation is the first video, because I was very scared when I saw it. Moreover it's in black and white, and the actor plays very well. But I think the both videos are good. 

    Have you see my articles in Portrait of a Reader ?
