"It was open—wide, wide open—and I grew furious as I gazed upon it."

This is the most emotional line in the story because the narrator is happy that the old man's eye will not bother him anymore but he is furious at the fact that he has to see the eye once again. I think he might be angry also because the eye is the last thing he saw before the old man died. He feels 2 things at once and I think that brings out the real inner emotion of the butler.

"There was nothing to wash out—no stain of any kind—no blood-spot whatever. I had been too wary for that. A tub had caught all—ha! ha!"

I think this quote shows the reader that the man is very crazy, and does not care. It was disappointing to see that the man felt no empathy, and instead he felt pride because of how he murdered the man. I also want to know what he'll do next.

“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!— tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!”

I think that this moment is right at the most suspenceful part when the climax bleeds into the resoloution/end. Thereofre, it carries the most emotion and drama.

But any thing was better than this agony! Any thing was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!—and now—again— hark! louder! louder! louder! louder! —

"Any thing was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!—and now—again— hark! louder! louder! louder! louder! 'Villains!' I shrieked, 'dissemble no more! I admit the deed!— tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!”'

I think this creates the strongest emotional reaction because me personally, I was very surprised that he was all of a sudden giving himself away at the idea that they heard his beating heart even though they clearly didn't. I was immeadiatley shocked and surprised that things had taken a turn so quickly and abrubptly.

It grew louder—louder— louder!" This part was very suspenseful and impactful because there was so much emoton in this part of the story.

"And this I did for seven long nights—every night just at midnight—but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye."
This line impacted me because it showed you that the man was really crazy for wanting to kill someone they were fond of just because of their eye.

I found the part in the story where the heart starts beating for the second time really impactful, partially because it's a big twist and partially because the same line describing the sound repeats, calling back to the murder. The actual line is "It was a low, dull, quick sound — much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath—and yet the officers heard it not."

# data[].attributes.body
The line that says "Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever" effects me emotionally the most. This is the second or third clue that this man is indeed crazy, and something about killing an old man really impacts me emotionally.
