-       And he seems pretty mad, so it surprised us that he has a conscience. .

Whether his auditory hallucinations are caused by a feeling of guilt or something else is unknown.

It also comes as a surprise that he has a conscience. https://padlet.com/jo25/3k27wo4ww95s/wish/181211275 2017-08-16 07:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jo25/3k27wo4ww95s/wish/181211275 https://padlet.com/jo25/3k27wo4ww95s/wish/181211409 It is because we as readers can understand his mind and thoughts. He is unreliable - It doesn’t really make sense that he says that he loves the old man who never did anything to him, but somehow thinks that it is okay to kill him because of his eye.  ]]> 2017-08-16 07:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jo25/3k27wo4ww95s/wish/181211409 https://padlet.com/jo25/3k27wo4ww95s/wish/181211423 -        His thoughts leading up to and after the murder are the interesting part of the story.
-        His thoughts are more important than his actions.
- He has got better senses which makes it more interesting to hear about what he sees and hears instead of what he does

The reason:
- The narrator says that she loves the old man and doesn't want his gold. 
- The police are kind to the narrator which doesn't fit in a time with slavery and racism in the southern states.  
- They live together. The narrator walks into the old man's room when he sleeps.

-       Female: It is possible that it is a female narrator, which is indicated on page 2, where it says “it has welled up from my own bosom(bryst)” 
-       The way the narrator moves around and interact with the officers has a underlining sexy tone. “The officers’ way satisfied”
-       Male: The narrator often call him/herself “madmen”

 - The reason is very odd, maybe there is more to it, or maybe it shows/supports the fact that the protagonist is mentally ill.

The moral in the story could be taking responsibility for your actions.

-       It is not the killing which is the main conflict, it is the things that is going on in the narrators head.

-       The narrator is unreliable, and many things in the story like setting is not mentioned.

-       As a reader you think that the reason is a big sign of a mental disease.
