Literary interpretation

1. Tell-Tale heart
Poe uses the first-person narrator in order to involve the reader as a direct witness to the telling of the story.

2. The Lady or the Tiger
By leaving an open ending to the story, Stockton encourages thought and discussion about morality and inner conflict.
- There is no climax, or falling action, or dénouement
- What's the conflict in the mind of the princess, leading to what decision?
- What will the young lover do?

3. Owl Creek
The author omits falling action, and a change in setting and time with a flashback:
- It precipitates de dramatic denouement of the story.
- It surprises the reader
- We are left thinking until the very end that he has escaped.
- It builds suspense and keeps the reader guessing
