Read the passage from "the tell-tale heart.”
and every night, about midnight, i turned the latch of his door and opened it—oh so gently! and then, when i had made an opening sufficient for my head, i put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then i thrust in my head. oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly i thrust it in! i moved it slowly—very, very slowly, so that i might not disturb the old man's sleep. it took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that i could see him as he lay upon his bed. ha! would a madman have been so wise as this?
by visualizing the scene the reader can conclude that the narrator is
gleeful.
indifferent.
irritated.
curious.

Gleeful

The excerpt describes the ritual of a man who is spying on an old man at night. We know this because the room is dark and the old man is asleep in his bed. Although the narrator is describing a creepy and scary ritual, he sounds satisfied, and even gleeful. He seems proud of his actions and at his excellent execution. He also argues that the fact that he can act so carefully and effectively shows that he cannot be mad.
