Poe frequently uses repetition in his writing for emphasis or effect. For example, the narrator repeating himself by saying, "...Why will you say that I am mad?" emphasizes that he is mad. Poe repeats a line from earlier in the story during the climax. Paraphrase the repeated line, and comment on the effect that the line produces on the reader

Answer and Explanation:

Paraphrase: The narrator is nervous and disturbed, losing consciousness and bordering on madness.

as you may already know, a paraphrase occurs when we take a text and rewrite it using other words, but keeping the original meaning. The text to which the question refers "nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - not dulled them." The best way to paraphrase this text is to show the narrator's state of mind and all the psychological agony he presents.
