Our textbook defines false imprisonment as “committed when a person intentionally confines another” (Edwards, Edwards, & Wells, 2012, pg. 35). I do believe one could make an argument that Murray was falsely imprisoned within the men surrounding him. He had no alternate routes away from the attack and can say threat of danger was imminent at the time of the imprisonment. The fourth tort committed is intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Paul’s Case I think Paul’s Case was an interesting short story. I think that there is an implication with the title of the story. After reading the last sentence it seems to me that the part of the story could be told by a detective following the case of the boy who was killed by a train in New York. The title could also mean that Paul has a lot on his mind and that he is carrying all of his real feelings and emotions in his “case.” Part way through the story we see a change in the point of view of the story. At the beginning we are on the outside Paul’s world looking in.

However, the murder of the old man is not the climax of “The Tell-Tale Heart;” it is when the police arrive at the scene of the murder (although they do not know it yet) that the unnamed protagonist reveals that he has murdered the old man and hidden his body beneath the floorboards (Poe 193). At this point the story ends and the mystery of motive unresolved. However, there are several themes dispersed throughout the story, such as themes of insanity, time, and death and destruction of others and of the self. These themes leave many scholars wondering how they fit together to understand as to why the narrator kills the old man. The theme of insanity is easily recognizable and plays a large role in “The Tell-Tale Heart” to why the protagonist murders the old man; However, in “‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ [readers only see] the results of madness, not its origins” (Symons 241).
