Required Reading The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan PoeIn this episode of Required Reading, we dive into Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting short story, The Tell-Tale Heart. Through the fevered confession of an unreliable narrator, Poe explores the thin line between sanity and madness, guilt and obsession. We discuss how Poe uses rhythm, repetition, and symbolism to capture the relentless beat of a guilty conscience — and why this tale still makes hearts race nearly two centuries later. Co-hosted with Dr. Nic Hoffmann, Mike Burns, and Mike Carroll Check us out! Shifting My Thinking about AI in the Classroom by Mike Burns Women, Refor...
