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.

Select the aphorism that best expresses the following sentiment: Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betra
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

To whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell.

Explanation:

An aphorism is a saying, proverb, or maxim that expresses a general truth or life principle. They are also taken, at times, as mottos or ideals of life.

The given aphorism <em>"Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betray you" </em>can be best expressed by the saying <em>"to whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell"</em>. This sentence expresses the same sentiment of being careful about telling one's secrets to anyone, for it is the same as giving them the keys to one's happiness or sadness, one's freedom. <em><u>They can either keep the secret and give you freedom or reveal the secrets and ruin you</u></em>.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
