The Fall of the House of the Usher

The House of the Fall of the Usher is a story with too mentally unstable siblings who have no offspring and accompanied by their friend the house starts to fall down with them. The house is often described "dark" and "gloomy" in the story. It is described as on the dull evening in the beginning that the melancholy house is in view. This house is rather big but far from joyful and welcoming. The Usher and Narrator spend their time with the narrator reading books to the Usher.Such as the book The Mad Trist. Usher's sister was believed to be dead at a point but she was put in a tomb which later results in her actually being alive. Then when the two meet together when she gets her out of the tomb she escapes and she kills him through fear with the sister dying after that. The house then starts to crumble and goes into the lake with the narrator escaping.

My favorite quote is: "The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within."
