Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The tell-tale heart’ and Ray Bradbury’s ‘The fruit at the bottom of the bowl’ Essay

Comp be and pipeline the main themes from Edgar Allan Poes the tell-tale warmheartedness and Ray Bradburys the fruit at the shadower of the bowl.The twain stories some(prenominal) contain crime, punishment and despatch. The deuce stories twain contain two men who become obsessed with either his own or someone elses body part. They search rattling homogeneous but they are actu completelyy quite the oppositeThe writers both build up tension in there stories they make this can by adding something on the dot most the item in nearly each line, which makes the lector clear of what is divergence on. Ray Bradbury tries to give us a roll in his statute title what the bosh is ab turn up, before you have order the twaddle the title is non clear but after you have read the narration it becomes clearer, the reality in the bosh murders someone and gets obsessed with cleaning, as he wants to get rid of the r oddityer. The author determinations the metaphor the fruit a t the fucking of the bowl to emphasise that the populace is so obsessed with the evidence and what can be seen he has forgotten about the things that are deeper than the clear what the shopping center cant see, like the fruit that is at the bottom of the bowl. In this romance we are not given a name, rouse or given any kind of in pution about the character, which is sooner strange.Edgar Allan Poe does the same kind of thing with his title the tell-tale heart this as hygienic is not clear to us until we have read the story his title explains what happens when the character is caught he/she breaks hatful in front of two policemen because of his/her heart, his intend is copulation him what to do and finally the character breaks down. The story is about a tender person that I am mad who is disturbed by one mans eye and cant take it no thirster and eventually murders the man and gets caught when he/she breaks down in front of two officers, but he/she only bring forwards they have killed the eye but they go intot realise they have killed the man but deep in there heart they shaft they have done wrong and their aware gets the better of them.The fruit at the bottom of the bowl is set at midnight the clock ticked midnight and the character who is William Acton becomes obsessed with cleaning as he has killed a man (Huxley) and wants to get purge of the evidence in nearly every line it mentions something about his hands or fingers he is trying to retrieve what his hands or fingers have touched the fingerprints were every, everywhere at the end of the story it doesnt tell us if Acton was caught it leaves us to guess what is going to happen to him. As in the tell-tale the character (who we are not told a name or sex) is mad and becomes obsessed with an eye of a man I think it was his eye, yes his eye and thats what causes the murder and we do know that he is caught. They both committed the crime by murder.We do adopt that both the main characters are taken a elan and given prison house sentences but it doesnt actually tell us this is happening because of the way the stories are set out with the flash backs, the past and present tenses we do not know if the story is being told to us even from a prison cell or if they have already received there punishment it leaves us in suspense to what is going to happen to them or what has happened to them. It does give us an idea that they are already sentenced because they are verbalise the story in the past presents.In the tell-tale heart the narrator is telling the story he or she starts to go mad when he mentions the eye and he starts to build up tension when it comes to the end where the character breaks down in front of the two officers the character breaks down because of the heart beat in his head but I dont think he does hear this in his head I think it is his certified telling him to confess to what he has done in the written story they show this by adding a lot of explanation marks b ecause he is breaking down and it is all happening so fast I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer I felt I must scream or dieIn the two stories the characters strike to kill their victim. In the tell-tale heart the character planned to kill the man he couldnt take the sight of the eye anymore I made up my look to take the life of the old man, and thusly rid myself of the eye forever as in the fruit at the bottom of the bowl it was done more spontaneously he middling ended up having an argument with a man called Huxley and Acton (the main character) ended up strangling Huxley and killing him. Even though the two stories seem very alike they have their differences.In the fruit at the bottom of the bowl the writer uses a range of sentences when he is talking about the past he uses long sentences and in present he uses shorter sentences alike the author writes the story after the murder is committed and tells us how the murder is accomplished by using flash backs and incl udes us into the story when he is talking in the present, which makes the story seem more eerie, as the the tell-tale heart is told in a slightly disparate way it doesnt use the same style of writing he writes in one format instead of two.He writes in the first person hearken I and observe how healthily- how calmly I can tell you the whole story. He starts the beginning of the story talking to the reader which drifts you in to the story because the character is not talking sense I heard all thing in heaven and in earth. I heard many things in hell so how then am I mad? and you become confused to what is going on and makes you want to read on to find out what the character is saying and what he is on about?In the tell-tale heart the character mentions that he has gone mad why will you say then that I am mad? he has lost his mind and I think that is punishment enough for him because he has took away someones life now he has had his mind taken from him. In the fruit at the bottom of t he bowl I dont think Acton has gone insane he just becomes obsessed with trying to get disposal of the evidence and this is what makes him become obsessive.I dont think before the murder either of the characters were mad, peradventure the character in the tell-tale heart may have been a blot mentally unstable as it is a bit confusing how he becomes so obsessive over one mans eye but I think that he/she tends to lose their mind after the murder as it has got to him/her a lot. As William Acton also tends to loose his mind towards the end of the story as his hands start to take control but dark to his eyes, his gloved fingers moved in a little rubbing cycles/second on the wall and also he starts to talk to himself would u, I would, are you certain, yes.I think both stories had a well thought out setting and both themes were superior but even though the stories both contain the same contents (murder, crime and punishment) they seem very similar but they are really quite diverse I di dnt realise that until after I had compared the two stories. The two authors use different styles of writing in their stories. I really enjoyed reading the stories but not as much as comparing them and spotting how much they are unlike.
