in the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, why is it difficult to determine the narrator's point of view in this passage? a) the narrator uses both the pronouns I and you. b) the narrator appears to be unstable c) the narrator does not use any pronouns d) the narrator of the story is unclear

Answer 1

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," it is difficult to determine the narrator's point of view primarily because:

b) the narrator appears to be unstable.

The narrator's unstable mental state creates uncertainty about their perspective and reliability, making it hard for readers to fully grasp their point of view. This instability can lead to conflicting interpretations of events and emotions in the story.
