没有人知道爱伦·坡是否关注过谋杀案的庭审，但1843年发表小说《泄密的心》时，他肯定读过关于庭审的记录。

Nobody knows if Poe followed the trial as it occurred, but by 1843, when he published "the Tell-Tale Heart," he had clearly read about it.

尽管大多数第一人称的叙述要求我们认同叙述者，即我们成为这个正在讲故事的“我”，但是《泄密的心》还把我们当作“你们”来质问。

But whereas most first-person narratives ask us to identify with the narrator – we become this 'I' who is telling the story – this one also interpellates us as 'you'.
