"The Tell-Tale Heart" Mental Health Evaluation

Criminals sometimes undergo a psychiatric evaluation during which their mental health is reviewed by a psychologist. Pretend you are a mental health expert and write your evaluation of the narrator. Consider answering these questions in your evaluation:

-What crime did the narrator commit?

-What was his motive? Was he insane, enraged, seeking revenge, or something else?

-Would the narrator take responsibility for his crimes? Why or why not?

-What might a mental health expert say about the narrator's state of mind?
