309 words character analysis:
In this short story, is the old man a part of the narrator.
The old man represents the narrator, and the evil eye represents all the bad things in and around the narrator. So it isn’t about the narrator, but it is about the old man.
If you look at the pun effect of “the evil eye” you can translate it into “the evil I”.
Therefore I think the eye represents the evil part of the narrator. The evil or the madness is taking over the narrator, and the only way for him to survive is to kill the old man.
