The Analysis of the Plot about “The Tell- Tale Heart”

“The Tell-Tale Heart” is a psychological horror story of Edgar Allan Poe. The plot of the story is an important point which pushs the readers to read and immerse in it. In this thesis I want to talk about

how the plot develops.

In my opinion,the plot parts into five parts: introduction, development trend, point of attack, climax and resolution.

To begin with,"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a first-person narrative

of unnamed narrator who insists he is sane but suffering from a disease (nervousness) which causes "auditory halluciation ." The first word of

the story, "True!", is an admission of his guilt, as well as a assurance

of reliability. This introduction also serves to immediately grab the reader's attention and pull him/her into the story. From there, every word contributes to the purpose of moving the story forward.

Then,the description and the observation of the old man for seven days makes us confused. We will think “what will happen next?” The old man

with whom he lives has a pale, blue "vulture-like" eye which so distresses

and distracts the narrator that he plans to murder the old man, though

the narrator states that he loves the old man, and hates only the eye.

The narrator insists that his careful precision in committing the murder

shows that he cannot possibly be insane. For seven nights, the narrator opens the door of the old man's room, in order to shine a sliver of light onto the "evil eye". However, the old man's vulture eye is always closed, making it impossible to "do the work".

Next ,on the eighth night, the old man awakens, interrupting the narrator's nightly ritual and he grows furious as he gazes the open- wide ,wide open eyes. And this is the point of attack of the story. But the narrator does not draw back and, after some time, decides to open his lantern. A single thin ray of light shines out and lands precisely on the "evil eye", revealing that it is wide open. After that ,apex is coming.Hearing the old man's heart beating loudly and dangerously fast from terror, the narrator decides to strike, jumping out with a loud yell and smothering the old man with his own bed. The narrator then dismembers the body and conceals the pieces under the floorboards, making certain to hide all signs of the crime. Even so, the old man's scream during the night causes a neighbor to report to the police.

Last, the narrator invites the three arriving officers into look around. He claims that the screams heard were his own in a nightmare and that the man is absent in the country. Confident that they will not find any evidence of the murder, the narrator brings chairs for them and they sit in the old man's room, on the very spot where the body is concealed, yet they suspect nothing, as the narrator has a pleasant and easy manner

about him.The narrator, however, begins to feel uncomfortable and notices a ringing in his ears. As the ringing grows louder, the narrator comes to the conclusion that it is the heartbeat of the old man coming from under the floorboards. The sound increases steadily, though the officers seem to pay no attention to it. Terrified by the violent beating of the heart, and convinced that the officers are aware of not only the heartbeat, but his guilt as well, the narrator breaks down and confesses. He tells them to tear up the floorboards to reveal the body.

The story is driven not only by the narrator's insistence upon his innocence but by insistence on his sanity(神智健全). This, however, is self-destructive(自我损害) because in attempting to prove his sanity he fully admits he is guilty of murder. His denial of insanity is based on his systematic(有条理的)actions—a rational(合乎道理的)explanation for irrational behavior. This rationality, however, is undermined by his lack of motivation none. there was. Despite this, he says the idea of murder, "haunted me day and night". The story's final scene, however, is a result of the narrator's feelings of guilt which helps him hear the heart beating in the floorboards, is actually evidence that he is truly mad.

介词on 和about的辨析

we shall be pleased to send you the necessary information___ our machine tools. 为什么选择on而不是about? 简单区分,about通俗大众;on学术【专业】性强 on与about 二者都是介词,意为“关于,论及”等,一般情况下,二者可以互相替换,但二者有点区别:about常用于简单的或浅显的论述等,是一般用语,多用于讲故事,谈话;思考等; on多用于系统论述或专题讲演、论著等,具有学术性,如:The teacher told us a story about Lei Feng.

keep的用法及of 、for sb.句型区别

keep的用法 1. 用作及物动词 ①意为"保存;保留;保持;保守"。如: Could you keep these letters for me, please? 你能替我保存这些信吗? ②意为"遵守;维护"。如: Everyone must keep the rules. 人人必须遵守规章制度。 The teacher is keeping order in class.老师正在课堂上维持秩序。 ③意为"使……保持某种(状态、位置或动作等)"。这时要在keep的宾语后接补足语,构 成复合宾语。其中宾语补足语通常由形容词、副词、介词短语、现在分词和过去分词等充当。如: 例:We should keep our classroom clean and tidy.(形容词) 我们应保持教室整洁干净。 You'd better keep the child away from the fire.(副词)你最好让孩子离火远一点。 The bad weather keeps us inside the house.(介词短语)坏天气使我们不能出门。 Don't keep me waiting for long.(现在分词)别让我等太久。 The other students in the class keep their eyes closed.(过去分词) 班上其他同学都闭着眼睛。 2. 用作连系动词 构成系表结构:keep+表语,意为"保持,继续(处于某种状态)"。其中表语可用形容词、副词、介词短语等充当。如: 例:You must look after yourself and keep healthy.(形容词) 你必须照顾好自己,保持身体健康。 Keep off the grass.(副词)请勿践踏草地。 Traffic in Britain keeps to the left.(介词短语)英国的交通是靠左边行驶的。 注意:一般情况下,keep后接形容词较为多见。再如: She knew she must keep calm.她知道她必须保持镇静。 Please keep silent in class.课堂上请保持安静。 3. ①keep doing sth. 意为"继续干某事",表示不间断地持续干某事,keep后不 能接不定式或表示静止状态的v-ing形式,而必须接延续性的动词。 例:He kept working all day, because he wanted to finish the work on time. 他整天都在不停地工作,因为他想准时完成工作。 Keep passing the ball to each other, and you'll be OK.坚持互相传球,你们就

for和of引导的不定式结构的区别

for和of引导的不定式结构的区别 不定式是一种非谓语动词,不能单独作谓语,因此没有语法上的主语。但由于不定式表示的是动作,在意义上可以有它的主体。我们称之为逻辑主语。 提起不定式逻辑主语,人们首先想到的会是“for+名词(宾格代词)+不定式”的复合结构。如:It is important for us to study English well.然而,有时不定式的逻辑主语须要用“of+名词(代词宾格)”才行。例如:It is kind of you to help me.而不能说:It is kind for you to help me.在选择介词“for”还是“of”时,人们往往总是凭感觉而定。有时受习惯影响,多选介词“for”。于是常出现这样的错误:It was careless for him to lose his way.It is cruel for you to do so.由于众多语法书对这种结构中使用“for”与“of”的区别介绍甚少,一些人对其概念认识尚不完全清楚,笔者认为有必要就这一问题作些探讨与介绍。 一、在句中的语法作用不同 a.不定式for结构在句中可以作主、宾、表、定、状、同位语: 1.It is easy for Tom to do this work.(主语)汤姆做此工作是容易的。 2.I'd like for him to come here.(宾语)我喜欢他来这里。 3.His idea is for us to travel in two different groups.(表语)他的想法是:我们分成两组旅行。 4.Have you heard about the plan for you to go abroad.(定语)你听到让你出国的计划吗? 5.The word is too difficult for him to pronounce well.(状语)这单词太难,他念不准。 6.In the most schools,it is the custom for the headmaster to declare the newterm start.在大部分学校,校长宣布新学期开始是一个习惯。 b.不定式of结构只能在句中作主语。 1.It was careless of him to leave his umbrella in the train.他把伞丢在火车上真是太粗心了。 2.It is awfully good of you to come to see me off at the station.谢谢你来车站送我。 二、逻辑主语的名词有所不同

whatabout和howabout的用法

What about和How about的用法 What about … 和how about … 是英语口语中常用的两个省略句型,它们的意思和用法基本相同,常常用在以下场合。例如:一、向对方提出建议或请求。例如: 1.How about going out for a walk 出去散散步好吗 2.What about another cake 再吃块蛋糕好吗 二、征询对方的看法或意见。例如: 1、What about the playing the violin (你认为)她的小提琴拉的怎么样 2、What about the TV play 那个电视剧怎么样 三、询问天气或身体等情况。例如: 1、What about the weather in your home town 你们家乡的气候如何 2、How about your uncle now You can’t leave him by himself. 你叔叔近来身体好吗你们不能单独让他生活。 四、寒暄时用作承接上下文的转折语。例如: I am from Beijing.

about重要用法完全归纳

about重要用法完全归纳 用法一 表示“大约”,通常用于数字前。如: It costs about $10. 这需10美元左右。 He arrived at about 10 o’clock. 他大约10点钟到达。 用法二 在动词 know, hear, speak 等之后用不用介词 about, 含义有差别。如:摘自https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ba13661724.html, I have heard about him, but I don’t know him. 我听到过一些关于他的事,但不认识他这个人。摘自https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ba13661724.html, I’ve heard of him, but I don’t know about him. 我听说过他,但我不知道有关他的情况。 试比较: He knows her. 他认识她。 He knows of her. 他知道有她这样一个人。 He knows about her. 他知道有关她的情况。 用法三 be about to (do),意为“即将”、“马上”。注意该短语不与具体的时间状语(如:soon, tomorrow, immediately 等)连用。如: We are about to leave for Beijing. 我们正要动身去北京。 不说:He is about to leave here tomorrow. 注意该短语可与并列连词 when(这时)连用。如: I was (just) about to go to bed when the telephone rang. 我正要上床睡觉,这时电话铃突然响了起来。 在美国英语中,be about to do sth 的否定式,可表示“不愿意做某事”。如:I am not about to admit defeat. 我还不想认输。 用法四 about和on均可表示“关于”,但about主要指泛泛地或非正式地谈论某事,其谈论的内容也较为普通;而on则指比较有系统地或理论性较强地论述某事,其论述的内容较正式或较严肃。比较: He wrote on mathematics. 他撰写数学著作。摘自https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ba13661724.html, He wrote about the school. 他报道有关这所学校的情况。 It is a book on birds. 那是一本论及鸟类的书。(可能是一本学术著作) It is a book about birds. 那是一本关于鸟的书。(可能是一本供小孩看的关于鸟类的故事书) 用法五 注意不要按汉语意思,在一些及物动词后误加介词 about,而在一些不及物动词后该加 about 时却漏加。如: 他没什么不满吧? 误:He has nothing to complain, does he? 正:He has nothing to complain about, does he? 析:表示抱怨某事时,complain 不及物,其后需接介词 about 或 of 再带名词或代词作宾语。(本句中 about 的逻辑宾语是 nothing)
