QUESTION

What similarities do you see in this story to “Ligeia”? What is the nature of Usher's relationship to Madeline? In what ways is the House of Usher a "palace of imagination"? Interpret this description of Roderick Usher: "By the utter simplicity, by the nakedness of his designs, he arrested and overawed attention" (324). What function does Usher's song, "The Haunted Palace," serve in the story? In what ways does Usher resemble Poe? What do these similarities suggest? Why does the entire house collapse at the end of the story?
