In "The Tell-Tale" by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator claims to know the old man is making excuses for the noises he hears. Why is the narrator saying this? Support your answer.

The narrator tries to find excuses for what he did to try to justify what he did and cover the guilt he feels.

Explanation:

The Tell-Tale Heart is a literary tale written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1843, where a horror story is told where the conscience of the main narrator finally reveals the truth. This writer seeks to create a close relationship between the reader and the narrator, who seeks to justify his wrongdoing, giving very precise reasons for his main motives. But his own guilt exposed him, because he cannot bear the sound of the old man's "heartbeats" that are disturbing him, and they come from the floorboards where the body is.
