As we do not know much about the narrator except the nature of his relationship to crazy Roddy, we
don't know what might affect his perceptions - and on top of that, there is a lot of background
information that he himself obviously doesn't have but that would be crucial to make sense of what
happens in the House of Usher. Lovers of the arts must also appreciate how sneaky Poe insinuates
that mentally deranged people tend to be great artists, Roderick not being the only example in the

?wild improvisations on his speaking guitar. From the opening words, Poe conjures an unsettling and
other-worldly atmosphere with florid and archaic prose and by occasionally slipping an unexpected
word in an otherwise ordinary description. The movie seriously deviates from the original plot, but in
a refreshing innovative way. Early poetic verses found written in a young Poe?s handwriting on the
backs of Allan?s ledger sheets reveal how little interest Poe had in the tobacco business. First: The
length This story can be consumed in one sitting. And binding this all together is Poe's inimitable
style and narrative drive. No one can create such oppressive environments and anguished characters

narrator) then documents the decline of Usher's mental health. An interesting adaptation, not exactly
faithful to the book, but good enough to watch. This versatile writer?s oeuvre includes short stories,
poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. It
has four stanzas of beauty followed by two of horror and seems to echo and predict his family?s fate.
(Poe had previously published it as a standalone poem.) ? One of Usher?s favourite romances is
?Mad Trist. The narrator, invited by the place's owner, is immediately struck by the fantastic

actually see. Anyway, Usher plays songs on his ukelele (or some other instrument - I can't remember)

No one can create such oppressive environments and anguished characters like Poe. There's a man
who lives alone with his twin sister Madeleine. As we are all stuck at home and feeling the mental
strain that can put on us, it is very easy to relate to what might happen to your brain after being stuck
in the same house day after day after day after day. On some late night, when you are having trouble
sleeping, read a story or two of Poe and notice the psychological impact he starts to have on you as
your eyes dart around the room at what sounded like a creaking floorboard or your skin crawls at the
screech of an owl that may have been the last scream of a woman ensnared. A classic gothic horror
story, one of the classic gothic stories. Con respecto al final, me parecio bastante curioso y bueno.

curse that her whacked-out brother keeps rambling about. The Fall of the House of Usher was
originally published in 1839 and thought to be Edgar Allan Poe's most famous and well-written
piece of work. Madeline appears more alive in death than she did in life. But the narrator is shocked
at the sight of cadaverous Usher. It's horror of the creepy, atmospheric kind (the best kind, IMHO),
the kind that gets under your skin and makes you feel it in a thousand subtle ways. Meta This is a

Admirable performance by Price as Roderick, and an okayish Damon and Fahey. His other brother
William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe?s sister
Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls? school. An unnamed character
receives a letter from an old friend beseeching to urgently visit him at his mansion. The ?House of
Usher? - an appellation which seemed to include, in the minds of the peasantry who used it, both the
family and the family mansion. ? The narrator has been unexpectedly and urgently invited to visit
Roderick Usher, one of his ?boon companions in boyhood?, though he knows (or remembers?) oddly
little about this friend. When I read this year and years ago, I supposedly loved it. His works have
been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The
Fall of the House of Usher. The house in the story represents the stability, and eventual collapse, of
his mind. Like HP Lovecraft, Poe?s choice of words brilliantly teases the imagination with its dark
terrors. 65 likes Like Comment Dave Schaafsma Author? 6 books 31.7k followers October 21, 2023
?The Fall of the House of Usher. You will also find compilations selected by our editors from all
kinds of categories. Fast forward a few years later, I read the story again at the end of my college
years, as a look on mystery and the Gothic origins. It creates tension as events unfold and the once
familiar takes on the visage of the ghastly and wild. Both family and house are by then intertwined
in an almost organic sense, and their demise is powerful and surreal.
I found myself a slight bit bored the first time I read it. Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a
businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his
childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron. Yet The Fall of the House of Usher remains perennially
popular and influential. And while there is closure in the story, the narrator is unnerved by the sorrow
and recognizes that he will carry the terror the rest of his life. It seemed to only be about some guy
that went to go visit an old school buddy. And while it may sound like I'm nitpicking, these shoddy
investigation practices do become a pertinent part of the story later on. Life echoes the story the
narrator is reading. A knocking. What? Who?s there?! But she?s dead. Admirable prose; not exactly
easy to read, but great nonetheless. Were the brother-sister duo in The Fall of the House of Usher
blighted by acedia? I think so. 56 likes Like Comment Meike 1,679 reviews 3,578 followers October
31, 2021 Aaaahhhhh, gothic psychological horror extraordinaire - who can resist the sinister appeal
of Eddie Poe's twisted tales. Poe?s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as
on his haunting lyric poetry. The general idea is honored, but unlike the book, Madeline Usher takes
a major protagonism in the film as a love interest of the narrator, Winthrop. Ill-fated twins Roderick
and Madeline Usher beset by some dark force centered on their land, whether natural or spectral.
The special effects were a bit lacking, although consistent with the era it was filmed. Edgar Allan
Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is a nearly perfect short story. It doesn't seem to track the story
exactly, but it's certainly a weirdly marvelous drawing This story struck me at first as too verbose -
Poe gets perhaps a bit carried away with his descriptions of decay, both in the narrator's friend,
Roderick Usher, and in his sister (who at different times reminded me of a ghost or a vampire), and
in their house itself. Like, what? Did you not think maybe you should check on her. In contemporary
gothic tales, Sylvie and Ruth and Lucie in Housekeeping, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle,
the gothic House is the Soul. Once there, Usher is found to be a hypochondriac, suffering greatly
with nervous agitation. It starts with the protagonist describing the state of the house and Roderick
Usher?s sickly appearance. While listening, I may have been leaning a wee bit in that direction
myself. Poe is at the height of his powers of description in this tale. It almost looks like the House is
alive, looking very closely, ready to swallow them up. The story has the narrator being summoned to
a remote decaying mansion where his childhood friend. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon) and realized that

me a little of Mervyn Peake?s magnificent Gormenghast books, which I reviewed HERE. ? This
could easily inspire a story of the effects of Covid-isolation, but I won?t be the one to write it.
And binding this all together is Poe's inimitable style and narrative drive. He confides his belief in
the sentience of all vegetable things, and in a real connection between the family?s fate and the gray
stones of the ancestral home, which are covered in fungi and surrounded by decayed trees. When I
read this year and years ago, I supposedly loved it. We too are touched by this terror in ways that are
impossible to fathom. It doesn't seem to track the story exactly, but it's certainly a weirdly marvelous

Because of course that's what you read out loud when your friend is in the middle of a crazypants
breakdown. Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is a nearly perfect short story. And if
you have time, look for more synonyms. Dull, dark and soundless day Clouds hung oppressively low
Dreary tract of country Insufferable gloom Desolate or terrible Bleak walls Decayed trees
Depression of soul Iciness, sinking, a sickening of the heart Dreariness of thought Sorrowful
impression Ghastly tree-stems Mansion of gloom Gray walls and turrets Silent tarn Pestilent and
mystic vapor, dull, sluggish. A strange beginning, followed by an interesting middle, and culminated
with a terrific horrific ending. The friend wonders how this dire situation could become any more
bizarre. The dual meaning of the title is reflected in several dualities within the tale itself: the Usher
siblings, the mouldering house and family, the sounds of the story being read by the narrator echoing
in actuality. Come to my house and we can paint and read and sing together. A masterpiece of the
immortal Poe, considered along with The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Cask of
Amontillado, one of his best works ever. Some obvious flaws, like our narrator bolting maybe a bit
too soon as the creepy house is itself beset, not checking on his buddy's status in his speedy buh-bye.
The house is, as if it were, his very soul, weighing on him. The real Poe was born to traveling actors
in Boston on January 19, 1809. At a time when I am struggling to focus on reading, getting in and
getting out of a story quickly is perfect for my current attention span.

the kind that gets under your skin and makes you feel it in a thousand subtle ways. As a
consequence, we as readers start speculating and connecting the dots - and as there a re multiple
interpretations that make sense, this story can be read again and again without losing its spooky
appeal. I?ve always enjoyed the ripe symbolism that is always a characteristic of a good Poe story.

Here, an enigmatic narrator (who is this unnamed dude?) receives a letter from his childhood friend
Roderick Usher who begs him to come visit. During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in
the autumn. And while there is closure in the story, the narrator is unnerved by the sorrow and
recognizes that he will carry the terror the rest of his life. The narrator, invited by the place's owner,
is immediately struck by the fantastic atmosphere in this House, which is as old as the Usher's. Long
--long --long --many minutes, many hours, many days, have I heard it --yet I dared not --oh, pity me,
miserable wretch that I am! --I dared not --I dared not speak. Because of course that's what you read
out loud when your friend is in the middle of a crazypants breakdown. Very early on in this story we
are encouraged to empathise with the narrator, as his surroundings become increasingly grotesque,
sinister and threatening. Usher is spooked and sees through a spiritual lens, while his friend pushes a
reassuring rationalist perspective. In contemporary gothic tales, Sylvie and Ruth and Lucie in
Housekeeping, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, the gothic House is the Soul. Shortly after
arriving, he sees Madeline, Roderick's twin sister, walking through a room in a trance-like state. Our
nameless narrator, a childhood friend of Roderick Usher, has been beckoned via letter to the Usher
home. In grief, agitation, driven to madness, Usher succumbs to ?gazing upon vacancy for long
hours.? They write, they draw, they play music, but they also read books, too, to heal, or to further
sink into the gloom: the literature of dread. The brother-sister duo confined themselves to their
