Read the excerpt from the tell-tale heart.
it grew louder, i say, louder every moment! —do you mark me well i have told you that i am nervous: so i am. and now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror. yet, for some minutes longer i refrained and stood still. but the beating grew louder, louder! i thought the heart must burst. and now a new anxiety seized me—the sound would be heard by a neighbour!
the best way to summarize the narrator’s internal conflict is that he is
a indecisive about killing the old man.
b confused by the odd quiet in the house.
c afraid he will lose his nerve and run away.
d worried his own heart will explode from terror.
