English

In "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, the beating heart the narrator heard symbolizes, at least in my opinion, the narrator's guilt. 
He killed a man, and he kept hearing his beating heart, even though it was impossible. He kept hearing it because he felt guilty because he murdered a person, and he had to come clean to the police officers in some way. If he hadn't, he would go completely mad, and his crime would go unpunished, probably.

I'm not sure the word for it, but I'd say it symbolizes the truth to a game the narrator was trying to play. When he was trying to lie and make sure that no one knew about the body under the floor, he almost succeeded in doing so, until he thought he heard the man's hear beating from under the floor. Hearing the sound of a beating heart in his ears made him go insane until he finally just confessed about the body under the floor. 
I hope my answer kind of helped you.

What does impact of the death mean
11111nata11111 [884]
"Impact" is an effect. 

So "impact" of the death means: the effect that death has on something. 
For example, you could say: 

The Impact of the death of the Emperor was the loss of respect for the country from the neighboring countries.

or you could say: 

The impact of the death of her mother on her was devastating.

Read the excerpt from Thoughts and Sentiments.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The explanation of that fragment is a reality that is still lived in our days, we still continue to see our fellow man as a slave to ourselves.

Explanation:

Anyone who denies himself or, so to speak, renounces showing feelings of compassion, of natural affection for others, cannot constitute himself as a rational being, since the rational being is linked to the feeling of empathy and fear for harming him. other people and reaching the point of mistreating them and turning them into inferior beings just for having a different skin color, in this we constitute ourselves as barbaric and irrational when we come to mistreat our fellow man simply because they are beings different from us in their physical and cultural constitution.
