he is insane the reasoning is
The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth.

He is truly insane because he is trying to prove to himself that he is sane. "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!"
"If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the

wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body."

"I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done."  and  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! " he was smiling and laughing about killing him

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was an insane killer because when he said "no stain of

any kind — no blood-spot whatever. I had been too wary for that. A tub

had caught all — ha! ha!". And when he said "I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done."

The title "The tell-tale heart" means that the narrator that killed the old man was going insane from the old mans heart after he was killed and continued to hear it in his head after the murder making him turn himself into the police. KH + AB

He is truly insane because he killed a man just because his eye looked like a vultures eye.

The quote "I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I

must scream or die! " shows that he couldn't bear the guilt any longer and had to confess the truth. -TS LM

# data[].attributes.body
He is truly insane because he felt guilty and admitted he killed the old man and his voice changed to a more "guilty" tone while a calculated killer would've not felt guilty and would be calm.  "I admit the deed! — tear up

the planks! — here, here! — it is the beating of his hideous heart!" and "I talked more quickly — more vehemently; but the noise

steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and

with violent gesticulations..."

He is truly insane because he didn't like the beating of his heart or his eye which he thinks of as a vultures eye. So to kill someone because of that you are just insane.

I believe that he is insane. "now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well, too. It was the beating of the old man’s heart. It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage." and "The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them.

the heart beat which represents the guilt of killing someone close to him while the eye represents death since vultures go after the dead-A.M L.P M.O

# data[].attributes.body
The "death watches in the wall" are a type of bug that symbolize the foretelling of death, ans if they were heard inside a house, it meant that somebody in that house would die. The old man's heart still beating symbolizes the aftermath can haunt you, even after something has already been done. The beating gets irritable over time and eventually causes the man to reveal himself, showing his guilt and how he is haunted by it. Hope B. Presley C.

The narrator is both. He definitely leans more towards insane, but the way he took his time and waited for the right moment when it came to killing the old man shows he also had traits of a calculated killer, despite his fears manifesting on a whim and the murder wasn't really planned thoroughly. This is shown by how he repeats himself and  repeatedly tries to defend his mindset to the audience, despite being mad. It's also shown by how he takes his time planning the old man's murder over the span of a week to make sure it goes right.

We believe that the man was truly insane.  1.“dissemble no more! I admit the deed! — tear up the planks! — here, here! — it is the beating of his hideous heart!” 2. "I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it." KH + AB

The narrator is insane. This is made very clear due to the fact that the narrator constantly repeats quotes such as "why will you say that i am mad" as well as "Madmen men know nothing. But you should have seen me," this shows the narrator is insane and wants attention off the murder, he also is always trying to convince the reader that he is not and, which is a very common behavior in physcopaths.-PS TA
