An author’s use of point of view in a story can help make the story great or it can make it seem boring. ... In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart”, Poe uses point of view as a major plot device. Poe’s narrator is an unreliable, insane person, which Poe uses to make “The Tell-Tale Heart” particularly disturbing and frightening.
“The Tell-Tale Heart” is told from the point of view of the main character. ... It adds to the story’s chilling intensity
Another twist to this point of view is that Poe never lets on if the narrator is a man or a woman.
