Whenever Roderick said something that is going to happen, like when he sang about the house falling, it happened. When Roderick tells the narrator that his sister is standing in front of the door, she is. When the narrator meets Roderick, he tells the narrator that he will die of fear, which he then does at the end of the book. In the beginning of the story, the theme is gloomy, dark, and has the feeling of some sort of evil presence coming from the house. Roderick then dies from fear and the narrator rushes out of the house while it crumbles to the ground. In a snap of the finger the gust blows the window and door open and both the narrator and Roderick then sees Madeline standing in front of the door covered in blood.
He believes that they buried her alive and is trying to escape from her tomb. He also believes that the noises are from Madeline. Roderick then proceeds to tell the narrator that he has been hearing these sounds for days. He first ignores the noises, but then realizes that they are getting louder and louder. As he is reading he hears noises that correspond to the sound that the book is trying to describe. The narrator reads " Mad Trist" by Sir Launcelot, a medieval romance story to Roderick to past the night away. The narrator tells Roderick that it is something he has not seen before. One night, both the narrator and Roderick couldn't fall asleep and saw a mysteriously glowing gas around the house. Madeline then died and is temporarily buried underneath the house in fear that scientists will use her for experiments.
He could do nothing to cheer Roderick up. The narrator decides to stay with him for a few days. He feels so bad for her and looks to be less energetic than normal. Roderick then tells him how his sister is going through a bad time in her life. Once inside, the narrator scouted out where Roderick was after noticing how the inside looks as scary as the outside.
The house also looks to be unsafe with the broken rocks underneath to keep the house stable. Before the narrator enters the mansion, he notes to himself that the area seems to be filled with some sort of evil with the dead trees and decaying grass. Madeline is suffering from a disease as well and Usher feels that he and his sister are soon to expire. In the beginning, the narrator informs us that Usher is mysterious and reserved. Roderick summons our narrator to his mansion by sending him a letter that told him to immediately report to his house because he was sick and is suffering from some sort of mental disease. Roderick lives with his sister Madeline in his massive mansion. The story is about an unnamed narrator who has a childhood friend named Roderick Usher who owns a very creepy mansion. At age 40 in 1849 Edgar Allen Poe died to an unknown cause. This put him through a deep depression and thus starting his dark/gothic era in his life. In January 1845, Poe published "The Raven." Two years later, his wife died of tuberculosis. In 1835, Poe married his 13-year old cousin, Virginia Clemm. His work forced him to move to other states including, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. After his mother died, Poe decided to write poetry and separated from his father. He only went to University of Virginia for one semester due to the lack of money they had. The family had to pay debts that resulted from gambling, and the cost of Poe's education.
