I realise I'm beyond the point of doing well in this exam but it's my extra unit so I'm not too fussed.. thought I should know anyway asto not look like a fool.

For Crime Fiction: I'm doing Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart as a related text and need some info real quick! Anyone else doing this?

Anything would be helpful, but mostly I am confused about the conventions - there is the police officers and a murder (obviously), but as it's told in first person and sounds so much like a confession, as well as the fact that it was written around 1843 really throws me off as to whether this adheres to conventions or subverts them?

Merci!
