Unlike the written version, the film version that has additional storyline makes it quite obvious what is going to happen next especially when the Betty meets Edgar’s handsome and much younger friend for the first time. In the review (tale heart 1960) the film version of the story that is in total contrast to the original written version of the story is the lack of suspense. This aspect of the film version is not included in the original written version of the story. The film version of the story takes on a totally different perspective as it brings in the love triangle conflict that eventually leads to the killing of a man because Betty (Edgar’s girlfriend) who has romantic feelings for Edgar’s good looking best friend, Edgar then eventually ends up killing his friend to keep the Betty for himself. The first indication of insanity of the narrator is when he says, ‘why will you say that am mad?’ This story has so many versions that do have different intrigues and fascinations due to the fact that the killer is physiologically unstable. He is so overconfident to the extent that his insanity leads to his own downfall. DiscussionĪs illustrated by (Dray) what makes this story very interesting is the confidence of the narrator. This paper compares and contrasts the written and film version of the story The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. The killing is meticulously executed and the corpse chopped to pieces then concealed below the floorboards. The thyme of the two versions makes up one of the major contrasts between the film version and the original version of The Tell-Tale Heart story as it appears in the book.
This gets so intense to a point where Edgar ends up killing his own friend.
Betty also does show interest in a much younger and handsome guy who happen to be Edgar’s friend. It describes the narrator (Edgar) as an insane man who gets fanatical about his girlfriend (Betty). This is the version of the story in written however, in the film the story is different. Published first in 1843, The Tell Tale-Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is a short story that trails an unknown narrator who is adamant that he is sane even after brutally slaying an old aged man who has a “vulture eye”.
