In this edition we will discuss, or show, an example of what a solid short story is composed of, as this work stands as one of the best ever written writing pieces in Literature.
In looking at this issue of a "good" short story, for this issue we look at Edgar Allen Poe and his dark, Gothic short story, "The Tell Tale Heart", a brilliant tale of murder and deception that ultimately drives the killer mad. However, before we delve into this story directly, we're going to talk just a bit about the short story and what makes up a literature short story.
Now, what is a short story? Is there a line length on it or as long as the work is developed, it constitutes a short story? First, a short story is a brief fictional prose with a well developed plotline that is shorter than a novel and it will deal with shorter character grouping.
The standard features include exposition, complication, crisis, climax, and resolution of the crisis. However, it is not essential that all short stories follow the same pattern but most do try to include the most important elements to create the short story.
In the short story, "The Tale Tell Heart", the main narrator is anonymous to us but speaks in an all knowing narrator voice. This person has killed an old man who had "vulture eyes" and he wanted him to stop viewing him, and his life. The narrator has hallucinations of a loudly beating heart, that he fears is that of the man he killed and buried somewhere safely. His madness grows stronger as the days past and he ends up, well, I'll let you find out what he ends up doing once you read this story.
This is not a long story, as we know but it draws you in once you start at the beginning and not until the end, does it release you from its hold. It is just amazing, just brilliant to read!
Well, hope you enjoyed this edition of the newsletter and hope to see you again sometime, dear reader!
