why did the author most likely choose to tell the story from the first person point of view. ( The Tell-Tale Heart)

The author most likely choose to tell the story from the first person point of view because (actually I don't even know the story) the author might have wanted the reader (you) to have a deeper connection with the main character(s)

Tell Tale Heart is told through the first-person point of view, which means that the story is being told from the narrator's perspective. The first-person point of view of this story is especially important because it allows readers to see into the mind of Poe's unreliable narrator and to show us why he killed the man.
