The Tell-Tale Heart by Edger Allan Poe

It relates to the situation that happened during the colonial years when slaves killed their slavers for the justification of freedom from suffering and pains . The way Poe portrayed the narrator is indefinable because he did not identify the character as a person but only a doer of the action . It means that the narrator is not a significant person with significant power . He only got the opportunity to act for his freedom On the other way around , social context was seen when the villains came to the house of the old man

. It was seen that once they have heard dreadful things that happened in a certain place , they will come and think of it as negative situation . There is always a foul play beneath every situation like this . It means that there is already a construction of social morality in dependence to the situation of the ruling-class and not on the side of the slaves . It only shows that Poe 's way of unleashing the slaves ' unlawful power was determined by the circumstances and occurrence that brought them to test

In conclusion to this , Poe defined the true meaning of slavery and justice in one significant event in the story . It was seen that there is a notion of revenge in every slave due to the fact that there is pain and struggle that are coming through their entire body and soul However , the author did not used simple words to illustrate the situation and its deeper meaning for he used symbolisms and literary elements and images to unleash the real situation between the slave and the slaver at night - when everyone is quiet and peace
