To provide you with the best quote from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe that supports your answer to part A, I would need to know what your answer was or the specific theme or aspect you are addressing. However, here are a few key quotes from the story that capture central themes such as guilt, madness, and the nature of perception:
-
About guilt and madness: “I felt that I must scream or die! And now—have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses?”
-
About the heartbeat and guilt: “It is the beating of his hideous heart!”
-
About the narrator's insistence on sanity: “You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me.”
If you provide more context about the specific aspect you are analyzing, I can help you find the most relevant quote.
