symbolisim used in "A Tell-Tale Heart"greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread |
I am doing a report about the symbolisim or any present themes that exist in Poe's "A Tell-Tale Heart", I was wondering if I could be given some examples of these to start me on the right path

IF YOU STILL NEED THE HELP, HERE'S SOMETHING SOME SYMBOLS ARE HEART AND TIME. THERE IS A CONSTANT REFERENCE TO TIME AND THE HEART IS MENTIONED A LOT. YOU CAN SAY IT'S A DARK THEME (A HORROR STORY) THERE IS ALSO A THEME OF GUILT/INNOCENCE.
