"The Fall of the House of Usher"

     The short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" was written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story takes place in a odd looking house with three main characters, the narrator, Mr. Usher and his twin sister. Ushers family was different, they intermarried for hundredth of years, and that disease caught up to them. Somehow Usher was connected to the house, he was weak and old, just like it. Ushers sister had a illness which caused her to be paralyzed for a short time. Without knowing Usher buried his sister, she came out of the grave and went after him. The narrator ran out of the house, as it came falling, air-go the title of the story "The Fall of the House of Usher".
     The images that are used to add to the dark and remote area was the fact that the house was old and around decaying trees. The area was ghostly and isolated with only two people living in a huge house. The interior was dark and old, and was like it had never seen the outside world. The idea of it being Gothic was how the story had a dark mood through out the story.
