The point of view is that of the first person. Poe decided to write 'The Tell-tale Heart' from the point of view of the young man that is living with the old man. Through this poem, the narrator tells us how he isn't mad or insane, but how it takes cunning to kill the old man he's living with.
The third-person point of view is a form of storytelling in which a narrator relates all the action of their work using a third-person pronoun such as he or she. There are two types of third-person point of view. A third-person point of view can be omniscient, in which the narrator knows all of the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, or it can be limited. If it's limited, the narrator only relates his or her own thoughts, feelings, and knowledge of various situations and other characters.
