In his short story “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Edgar Allen Poe writes from the perspective of an unreliable narrator. This narrator displays hyperbolic tendencies throughout the story, as he is subject to paranoia and delusions. This excerpt is the first paragraph of the story; the narrator images himself able to hear “all things in heaven and in the earth,” as well as “many things in hell.” Clearly, as an audience we know that the narrator is not able to hear all things. Yet this belief plays a key role in the story, as ultimately the narrator conflates his hyperbolic imagination with reality.

Hundreds of pop-stars, one-hit wonders, country singers, and rock bands have made merry with a simple reference in their song to this one organ, and made their millions. In the real world, stealing hearts is unacceptable. brendan_brown1 https://padlet.com/brendan_brown1/Do/wish/227216951 https://www.buzzle.com/articles/songs-that-have-a-hyperbole-in-them.html ]]> 2018-02-01 18:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_brown1/Do/wish/227216951 W.H. Auden, As I Walked Out One Evening brendan_brown1 https://padlet.com/brendan_brown1/Do/wish/227217536 Auden on Endless Love
I'll love you, dear, I'll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,

I'll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry
And the seven stars go squawking
Like geese about the sky."
- W.H. Auden
