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 character who most fills the narrator's thoughts and fuels his fears throughout the novel is his dead grandfather. Dying with bitter words on his lips, the narrator feels his grandfather has never understood humanity but cannot help but be haunted by his words and the meaning which seemed to flow from them.
