Gothic writing or Gothicism in literature is closely associated to Romanticism: both are the product of an intense reaction against everyday reality and conventional religious justifications of way of life. But there is a slight difference between the two: while Romantic writing is the result of faith in a definitive order, Gothic writing is a gloomy examination of the precincts of man. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a British writer cum historian Horace Walpole was credited with inventing the first gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto in 1764. Edgar Allan Poe revitalized the genre in mid-nineteenth century America. Soon the Tales of Horror carried a distinctly American flamboyance and astounding psychological depths. This inflection captivated readers then and even today also. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is one of Poe’s evergreen tales of terror. In this story, Poe brings out the ambiguous investigation of a man’s paranoia. The story gains its strength by the manner in which it portrays how the unnamed narrator tracks his victim (old man) as though he were a monster of prey.
