Read the excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" below. Using complete sentences, describe how Edgar Allan Poe begins to establish a

mood of terror that will continue throughout the story. In your response, use phrases and words from the excerpt to support your opinion.
I could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was, opening the door, little by little, and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled. Now you may think that I drew back—but no. His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness, (for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers,) and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on steadily, steadily.

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe establishes a mood of terror in this excerpt. The line where I would say a mood of terror was established is “ I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled.” The reason why I say this is because as the reader when I was reading the excerpt and I read the quoted line I immediately started to feel tension , especially the “as if startled.” part . How the line that I quoted will continue to establish a mood of terror that will continue throughout the excerpt is ; due to the line ”I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled”. I say this because it establishes the fear for the rest of the story .
