Even stranger and more mysterious than a narrator. Partly this is because we get acquainted with this character only from the narrator’s strange and spoiled perspective. He has a lot of money, which are showed by the narrator to police. And the strangest thing is about his blue eye that scares narrator to death. In today’s medicine, it is called corneal ulcer, and this is terrific; add some craziness of narrator’s mind and here we have a reason to kill old, ugly man. Also, he was scared of robbers; that’s why he always closed all the doors. But we can assume that he trusted the narrator, as he didn’t lock the door when the last was at home. Anyway, being a sound sleeper and truthful man, he paid for that with his life.
