what does the eye stand for in the tell tale heart?
secrecy
the relationship between the old man and the narrator is ambiguous. their names, occupations, and places of residence are not given, contrasting with the strict attention to detail in the plot. the narrator may be a servant of the old man's or, as is more often assumed, his child. in that case, the "vulture-eye" of the old man as a father figure may symbolize parental surveillance, or the paternal principles of right and wrong. the murder of the eye, then, is a removal of conscience. the eye may also represent secrecy: only when the eye is found open on the final night, penetrating the veil of secrecy, is the murder carried out.
