EP1 The Tell-Tale Heart

Hello, and welcome to the Book Club Juxtapositions podcast! A book club where each month we discuss two pieces of literature and juxtapose them based on theme, plot, author style, societal norms and basically just how the book grabs ya! 

Our first episode, The Tell-Tale Heart, we discuss the story of a caretaker, who becomes infatuated with his charge’s eye. The eye of a vulture. His charge, merely a host for the cursed eye, is irrelevant. The eye must be destroyed. This disturbingly awesome narrative is a window into the mind of a narrator’s obsession. An obsession so powerful that murder is the only release. 

In this month’s episodes we will examine the theme of obsession in Edgar Allan Poe’s undeniably iconic short horror stories, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado.
