The person narrating has committed a murder and shoved the corpse under his floorboards. As some time passes the heart beat is a glimpse into his insanity, and how he is delusional over hearing non existent sounds. He believes he hears the heart of the person he murdered under the floorboards, which is a delusion, most likely made out of paranoia. When the police come to ask about the victim, the man almost fools them until he breaks down and confesses. He expressed annoyance at the victim earlier, saying that he could not get away from their eye, I believe. He tried to solve this by killing them, but his mind would not let him do so by making up false realities.
Answer:
This is from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The Ghost speaking is the ghost of prince Hamlet's father. I don't know what the question you got was but, in this section his ghost dad is telling Hamlet his story is sooo terrifying that it would make his eyes pop out of his head, "harrow" or scare/haunt him to his soul and make his hair stand up (like when you get goosebumps.) And the story is that Hamlet's Uncle Claudius killed Hamlet's father because Uncle Claudius wanted to be the King. AND then he married Hamlet's mom Gertrude too. AND she was in on it the whole time!
