THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER

The house was depicted as melancholy and pervading. It was located in a desolate area in the area, there were rank sedges. The narrator walked up the precipitous stairs and through the old crumpling house. He meet Usher in a quit room where they spoke of his daughter who had an acute malady. She died some time later and Usher decided to bury her under the house. She buried her alive. She came out of the tomb and killed her brother. The house finally crumbles at the end of the story. My favorite quote was, "...I saw the mighty walls rushing asunder-there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters-and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the "House of Usher.""
