The Narrator speaks of his hearing a lot in the Tell Tale Heart. He says that a disease had sharpened it, not dull, like other diseases do to people. He could hear heaven, hell, and everything in between. Now, I don't know about you, but normal people don't hear high up into the heavens. I think that he was just ill.
These days you have a lot of people saying that they get messages from a spiritual element, saying that they know exactly what goes on in heaven and hell. I don't believe a word of it. I think that the narrator was one of those guys. He had some idea, telling him to kill the old man, and from that point, he couldn't stop thinking about it, until he had done the deed .
Personally I think that the narrator was losing his mind, slowly, but surely. He thought that he could get away with the crime, but couldn't, because of that sense of hearing. The same sense of hearing that he thought was a blessing, but turned into a curse, putting him in jail. It just goes to show, Karma always comes back.
