What makes the tell-tale heart and it's narrator so thought provoking is that the whole time we hear about a murder and it leads us to question what happened and who done it. It is also though provoking because the narrator tries constantly to try and convince the reader that he isn't insane and instead has heightened senses which can later be proved to come from a disease known as schizopherina which is a mental illness that causes the person to hallucinate and hear, and see things that aren't there.
The reason someone would add more lines to Romeo and Juliet's death would be to make it more dramatic and interesting. Therefore more people would be interested and read it.
