The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. IN the story, an unknown narrator tells how he followed and finally killed an old man because he was afraid of his blue eye. After the murder, the narrator tried to hide the body from the police. The lesson is a moral one: the danger and power of a guilty conscience. When the police comes to his house, he seems to be calm. However, he starts listening to the beating of a heart which makes him start feeling nervous. It gets to a point he cannot bear it anymore, so he confesses the crime to the police. At this point we can say that another moral can be that one should try to confront fears somehow and also be conscious about the actions we take.
The guilty soul of the narrator in the story was like a haunting ghost in his mind who made him first listen to the corpe´s heart and finally confess.

"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller, an American Dramatist.
The play is a fictionalized version of Massachusetts's "Salem Witch Trials" of 1692-93.
Explanation:
Abigail Williams is the antagonist in the play. She had an adulterous relation with John Proctor. But John is married to Elizabeth. Out of jealousy for Elizabeth, Abigail with some other girls, tries to invoke curse on Elizabeth so that after her death, she could marry John.
Abigail behaves as if she is an adult when John tries to tell her that their relationship is a past thing saying,
<em>"I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I come near! I saw your face when she put me out and you loved me then and you do now! "</em>
Her lust and passion for John Proctor and her jealousy towards Elizabeth took a drastic shift in the play. When caught by her uncle in the forest dancing naked and performing pagan rituals, she accuses Elizabeth for devil-worship.
Mary, on the other hand, is a very naive and weak girl, in comparison to Abigail. She is the employer of Proctor's. She knows the truth of the girls and resist witnessing falsity against the Proctor's. But when pressed down by the situation in the courtroom she sides with Abigail and the girls and accuses Proctor's of being witch-craft practitioners.
