"placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim." This is a example of dramatic irony because the reader know more than the characters: the policemen

"but why will you say that I am mad?"
"How, then, am I mad?"
"You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing." they keep asking how they are mad and how would a mad person do this. the author does this to show that this person is crazy.

"How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story. " this is an example of dramatic irony. I think the author meant to use this as a form of foreshadowing

"I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head." This is an example of repetition. I think the author meant to use this to hint at the killer's craziness.

" It was not a groan of pain or of grief --oh, no! --it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe." This is an example of sensory language. I think the author meant to use this to help the reader get a mental image of what's happening in the story.

"He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold;" the author really wanted to explain the eye and how it made people feel.

"...now I say , there came to my ears a low dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton." This quote shows sensory language. I think the author added it to the story to help us understand exactly what the main character was hearing.

" His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness, (for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers,) and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door..." This is an example of dramatic irony because we know that the old man should actually fear the person living with him instead of robbers. I think the author added it to the story to give us more information.

" It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment!" This is an example of repetition. I think the author added this to the story to show how what the character was feeling and hearing was changing rapidly as time went on.

I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. 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 forever.
he mentions the eye over and over again showing how much he hates it

 nick Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded --with what caution --with what foresight --with what dissimulation I went to work!

the irony is he is mad and says madman know nothing

Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment!
it uses decriptive sensory words

"The night waned, and I worked hastily, but in silence. First of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head and the arms and the legs." This is an example of Situational Irony. I don't know about other people but I wouldn't expect him cut off the limbs of the body. If I were to kill someone I would hide it somewhere secret like the ocean or burn it.

"Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme!" This is an example of Sensory language. This is an example because it says "the hellish tattoo of the heart increased" and then he says the beat quickly increased louder and louder which is very descriptive

"He shrieked once --once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him." I think the author used repetition here to show that the old man didn't show much struggle so the murder was more clean.

"--but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed --I raved --I swore!" to show how badly the tone was affecting the main character.

"Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! --do you mark me well I have told you that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror. Yet, for some minutes longer I refrained and stood still. But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me --the sound would be heard by a neighbor!" shows the old man's sheer terror.

"But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded --with what caution --with what foresight --with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it --oh so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly --very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. " shows how much repetitive detail the main character went through to pull off the murder.
