300 Question from Irony
I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He
had never given me insult. For his gold I had no
desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this!
One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture-a
pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it
fell upon me, my blood ran cold and so by
degrees-very gradually-I made up my mind to take
the life of an old man and thus rid myself of the
eye forever. In the above paragraph, what does
the reader realize that the narrator does not?
