The narrator thinks he was not insane, he was just nervous. A nervous man that wanted to kill someone he does not dislike. A man that is "just" nervous would never do that to other people. He was not mad, he said, but he also said "so why would you say that I am?" This infers that OTHER people in the story or the readers with this kind of feeling, thinks he is mad, or said that he is mad. A man, a nervous man would never spent a whole hour just to put their head into the victim's room. BUT, a calm, and insane man would. He maybe nervous about getting caught, but he definitely wasn't afraid of killing anyone, why? Cause he is INSANE!!!!! A mad man, a man that calls himself nervous. The shriek the old man had made when he was getting beat up made the neighbors arose their suspicious. Policeman came, to question this nervous man. The narrator acted calm, acted like the old man wasn't at home. How can a man that calls himself nervous be calm? And act so well. The policeman was fooled by his calmness and had no suspicion on him. But, the mad man, can hear the guilt inside him.
