Who ...
a ... nearly took all the money of a man called Glendinning? ...............

c ... was buried alive in a vault under an old house? ..............
d ... had the face of a dead man, covered with blood? ...............
e ... could only eat food that almost had no taste? ...............

Answer 1

Differences between the two are in the narrator's intent in the murders--in "The Tell-Tale Heart" he planned his murder for a long time, stealthily waiting for the right moment, whereas the narrator in "The Black Cat" killed his moment with no forethought, but in a moment of blind rage.
