In literary research, the term ‘outsider’ seems almost absent. It appears slightly more often as a more general notion, but usually alongside three other terms (also not always well defined) to which it is subordinate: Stranger, Other and misfit. Within this heterogenous group, it acts as either a synonym or at best, as a notion close in meaning to the other three, a complement. It seems though that the term ‘outsider’ when referred to a literary character may, as an interpretative category (especially in first-person-narrative prose) prove useful and productive in terms of opening up the interpretation and analysis of a literary work towards dimensions other than those normally inhabited by the three usual companions of the ‘outsider’.

Summary The thesis analyses the role of senses in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Tell-Tale Heart. The narrator suffers from chronic squeamishness of senses – his most sensitive one is hearing. Thus, the text is full of descriptions of varied sounds. Sight is another important sense, which becomes protagonist’s main source of anxiety. An obsession about an old man’s eye leads him to commit a murder. The apprehension of the world by the protagonist is modeled by psyche of its character. As such, the analysis of his sensatory experiences has allowed to construct a picture of his internal life.
