What might the old man’s “Evil Eye” represent?
What will be an ideal response?
- Daniel Hoffman sees the old man as a father-figure, perhaps even a Father-Figure, and suggests that in striking at his eye “the young madman strikes, symbolically, at his sexual power.” Hoffman also says that the narrator “is full of the praise of his own sagacity, a terrible parody of the true sagacity of a Dupin or a Legrand. For what he takes to be ratiocination is in fact the irresistible operation of the principle of his own perversity, the urge to do secret deeds, have secret thoughts undetected by the otherwise ever-watchful eye of the old man.”
