In the case of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, one reason the author may choose to slowly release information about the setting is to prevent the story from being overloaded with details at the beginning. Poe carefully controls the information he provides about the narrator's surroundings in order to create a sense of claustrophobia and intensify the reader's focus on the narrator's psychological state. By allowing the setting to gradually unfold, Poe helps maintain a sense of tension and mystery throughout the story.
