DARK HAUNTINGS “THE FALL OF THE HOUSE
OF USHER”
Narrations and answers for a guaranteed pass with distinction

1. Read the excerpt from Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.”I say that
even their exceeding density did not prevent our perceiving this – yet
we had no glimpse of the moon or stars – nor was there any flashing
forth of the lightning. But the under surfaces of the huge masses of
agitated vapour, as well as all terrestrial objects immediately around
us, were glowing in the unnatural light of a faintly luminous and
distinctly visible gaseous exhalation which hung about and enshrouded
the mansion.Which statement best describes the effect of the narration
on the story?

The narration suggests a supernatural presence at the dwelling.

2. Read the excerpt from “The Fall of the House of Usher.”Will she not be
here anon? Is she not hurrying to upbraid me for my haste? Have I not
heard her footstep on the stair? Do I not distinguish that heavy and
horrible beating of her heart? What is the effect of parallelism in this
excerpt?

It emphasizes Usher’s psychological fixation.

3. Read the excerpt from Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.”During
the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year,
when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been
passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of
country; and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on,
within view of the melancholy House of Usher.Which best describes the
mood created by the narration in this excerpt?

Gloomy and bleak
