Fall of the House of Usher

The Fall of the preindication of demo by Edgar Allen Poe is a figment riddled with deeper meanings than the superficial plot line and analogies to draw. With the first take away through, the story seems quite enigmatical in a sickly twisted sort of way, but upon tho reading, it becomes clear that there are meanings hidden deep down in the plot. There are many a(prenominal) comparisons that can be made in this story but the most obvious one would be the connection between the lives of the characters and the dramatics in which they dwell.Poe does a good moving in at purposely confusing the reader as to whether he is talking about the substantial house of Usher or the figurative house of Usher. The literal house is described as being in rough condition, with a break from the top of the house to the bottom. It has tarn around the outside of it and is in a general state of disrepair. As Poe describes how the literal house of usher is nearly ready to crumble, he also speaks of the metaphorical house of Usher. The metaphorical house of usher is also ready to crumble. This is because the house of Usher was inbred, leaving all of its members except two diseased.Roderick Usher and Madeleine Usher were the only two Ushers left in the line of Ushers, and they were both very ill. Madeleine suffers from fits that render her immobile, and seem dead. Roderick on the other hand has heightened senses and is acutely aware of every tiny last detail that is adventure around him. Both Roderick and Madeleine are on the verge of death and it is only a matter of quantify who goes first. This can again be related to the literal house of Usher because due to the fissure racecourse down the foundation of the house, it is only a matter of time which side collapses first.Poe does a good job at creating a sense of claustrophobia in the house by making it seem small and intemperate to navigate. He also creates a sense of mental claustrophobia within the bank clerk by making the narrator unable to get away from the literal and figurative house of Usher. In the end of the story, when Madeleine breaks out of her grave and kills Roderick, this is the fall of the metaphorical house of Usher, because after this point, there are no more ushers seeing as they have both died.As soon as the narrator flees the madhouse, this is the fall of the literal house of Usher. Immediately after the narrators departure from the house, the fissure from the top to the bottom of the house enlarges and the house literally collapses. It is clearly seen throughout Poes story that both the literal and figurative houses of Usher are meant to have a nearly perfect replicate plot throughout the entire story. The literal house collapses, as does the figurative, and they both collapse in the kindred way.
