Abstract

This paper uses Lacan’s mirror stage theory to deeply analyze Allen Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart”. It reveals the distortion and conflict of the protagonist’s psychological mechanism by analyzing how he constructs his self-identity illusion. At the same time, the paper also explores the key role of other gaze in the formation of self-identity.
