The Tell Tale Heart

I remember watching this movie in 8th grade. I remember the one scene where he can't take the guilt anymore and goes crazy because it woke me up from my in class nap. Just watch the first few seconds and you can see why everyone fell asleep.

A few years later I saw an episode of Spongebob and I saw that same scene that I remembered from 8th grade and it brought the whole story back to me. I would have much rather seen this version even if it is just a stupid cartoon, it conveys the same meaning of guilt.

Now in college I have gone back and found even more literary references in Spongebob like the episode called "Clams" that uses Moby Dick references. It's funny that these great works of literary history have found their way into the plot of a popular children's cartoon.
