Envision having to live with a mad man. He doesn’t think that he is crazy, but in all reality he is. No matter how sane this man tries to seem he’s not. The man is grumpy, immature and wants to kill someone that isn’t even doing anything bad to him. Edgar Allen Poe was a writer that had a dark past and uses great symbols that makes this story a tragedy.
Evil eye is a creepy word that had to symbolize death for the old man. Death is a very scary thing for most people, but for the old man he had a reason to be scared. The Evil eye of the old man was the part that drove his house keeper mad. Although he claims to be something other than mad, we have proven him wrong; “after you hear the precautions I have taken with his body you will think no longer that I am mad.” “I have hid the body under the floor boards, you do not call me mad now do u?” After the man had said this, I would think he was more mad than I had thought. Death had to be the one thing that made this old man did not see coming, the evil eye was the housekeepers worst enemy.
Lining a life of abandonment is not easy, but Edgar did it with little struggle. Growing up in the place of Edgar would be a huge struggle for most people, but for him it wasn’t. Abandoned as a child he lived a horrid life.
