Inference
I dislike that the story is in riddles and you cant understand it only some parts." I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever ". This shows that the keeper is a lunatic. I can connect this piece to crazy people in a luny bin who speak in riddle but makes clear sense afetr you know what they speak of.
CONFLICT
The plot was simple the man thought he needed the old man dead for the eye to stop haunting him. And through the story he wanted to kill the old man that was the only way for this conflict to end for this man or lunatic. so he watched him closely and finally did but his fear did not die as expected. After the killing he still felt worried that is why he showed the cops what he had done. And if you realize its the lunatic telling the story and while he does he keeps asking do you think im crazy yet. This is how you know that the eye was not his problem it was himself.
CHARACTERS
We have 2 main characters in this story the keeper and the old man. The old man had a blue eye and was a man of quietness. The keeper his a lunatic who has a fear of the old mans dead eye. If the old man never had a blue eye the keeper would have never solved the conflict by killing him. So they needed these charateristics in order to solve the conflict the way it was solved killing old man.

THEME
Its theme is mostly dark luntic's mind. The whole theme is based on the mans thoughts as he tells the story about what happened to him before and during the whole killing of the old man. If the man would have not been a lunatic there would never be story to be told about this luny of killing a old man who never did anything to this man.
