Tozama Daimyo. Tozama daimyo were daimyo who had not been vassals of Ieyasu in 1600 and their descendants. Many of them, especially the greater ones, had close ties with the shogunate, including marriage ties, but they did not take part in the bureaucracy or concern themselves with national affairs, at least publicly.
Besides the Tell â Tale Heart, I also have read Ligeia and I too have watched the movie. The Tell â Tale Heart is about the narrator whom hates the old man eyes. Evil Eye, he said. The old man has a vulture eye â a pale blue eye, with a film over it.
The unnamed narrator of the story is a dreadfully nervous character who disputes the allegation that he might be crazy. He contends that his disposition arises from a heightening of the senses: Above all was the sense of hearing acute (74). The narrator provides care for a wealthy elderly man. For some inexplicable reason, the narrator becomes obsessed with the diseased eye of the old man. The narrator likens it to a vultureâs eye and is so haunted by the Evil Eye that he decides to murder the old man. He meticulously plans the murder.
