The significane of the title, The Tell-Tale Heart, can be founf in its connection to the constant sound of the heart beat... a sound that the narrator hears consistently he murders the old man. The heart beat is a response to the narrator's guilt-ridden conscience, and over time, its repeated andincreasing volume leads the man to turn himself in.
