Summary

Paragraph 25
The narrator recalls a conversation with Arthur in which he passionately shared his
belief in the consciousness of all trees. While this belief was not unique to Arthur, it
was deeply ingrained in him. He associates this belief with the weathered gray
stones of his ancestral homes, showing that these stones, along with surrounding
organisms and decaying trees, received help from what was necessary for
consciousness. Arthur also points to the unity of these elements and their reflection
in the floods on Tarn as evidence of this knowledge. This experience, he says,
shaped his family's destiny for generations and shaped him into the person he is
today. The narrator does not personally reveal these beliefs.

Paragraph 26
A book that Arthur and the narrator wrote for themselves by the fantastic
characters in their lives. Grasset's "Dark Green and Chartreuse", Machiavelli's
"Belphegor", Swedenborg's "Heaven and Hell", Nicholas Krim's "Underground
Journey", Robert Froude, Jean Dandagini and De's "Paleography" They examined it
in depth. la Chambre, Tick's "Journey to the Blue Mountains" and Campanella's "City
of the Sun"

Paragraph 27
The narrator can't help but think about how terrible Arthur's plan was to keep
Madeleine's body in a museum within the walls of the house for two weeks. Usher
takes this decision very seriously but considering the unusual nature of Madeleine's
condition and the remote location of her doctor's interrogation and her family
cemetery, the narrator is spared the villains he meets in the memoir. She reached
the stairs at the back of her house. This encounter caused him to give up fighting,
which he thought was harmless, and take the necessary precautions.
 Paragraph 28
The narrator recounts how he personally helped Usher in preparing for the
temporary entombment of Madeline's body. Together, they carried the coffin to a
vault that had been unopened for a long time. The atmosphere inside the vault was
oppressive, and their torches struggled to provide sufficient light. The vault was
small, damp, and devoid of any means of natural light. It was found deep below the
part of the building where the narrator slept. The speaker suggests that in ancient
feudal times it was used as a dungeon, a place of confinement, and later as a
storage place for combustible materials, as evidenced by the copper lining on the
floor and interior. arch. The huge iron door, also protected by copper, made a sharp
grinding sound when opened due to its enormous weight.

paragraph 29
After placing the coffin on a trestle in the cellar, the narrator and Asher decided to slightly open the lid
and look at the face of the deceased. The narrator notices striking similarities between Asher and
Madeline, and Asher reveals that they are twins and have always had a mysterious connection. But their
gaze did not linger long on the deceased, as her presence filled them with awe. The illness that took
Madeline's life left a slight blush on her chest and face, and a smile that reflected the fear of her death.
They closed the lid, secured it, and labored their way back into the dark upper part of the house.

Paragraph 30
After several days of mourning, the narrator notices a significant change in Asher's mental state. He was
completely disconnected from his daily activities, neglecting his duties and wandering aimlessly from
room to room. His already pale complexion became even more eerie, and the light in his once brilliant
eyes completely disappeared. His voice, previously hoarse at times, now trembled with constant fear.
The narrator suspects that Asher holds a secret that he desperately wants to share, but that he does not
have the courage to do so. However, there were instances when the speaker viewed such behavior as
simply an expression of inexplicable madness. Asher spent hours concentrating on empty space, as if
listening intently to imaginary sounds. The narrator could not help but worry about Asher's condition,
and he felt the influence of his own terrible superstitions gradually taking hold of him.

And now, some days of bitter grief having elapsed, an observable change came
over the features of the mental disorder of my friend. His ordinary manner had
vanished. His ordinary occupations were neglected or forgotten. He roamed from
chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and object-less steps. The pallor of his
countenance had assumed, if possible, a ghastly hue—but the luminousness of his
eye had utterly gone out. The once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no
more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his
utterance. There were times, indeed, when I thought his unceasingly agitated mind
was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the
necessary courage. At times, again, I was obliged to resolve all into the mere
inexplicable vagaries of madness, for I beheld him gazing upon vacancy for long
hours, in an attitude of the profoundest attention, as if listening to some imaginary
sound. It was no wonder that his condition terrified—that it infected me. I felt
creeping upon me, by slow yet certain degrees, the wild influences of his own
fantastic yet impressive superstitions.

Question?
