The fall of the house of usher January 18, 2007

This book is not bad at all. Once again Poe successfully employs a dark romantic style. This book contains the most symbols in my opinion.The symptoms of Usher include hyperesthesia, hypochondria, and acute anxiety. It is revealed that Usher's twin sister, Madeline, is also ill, suffering from catalepsy. Usher sings The Haunted Palace. Usher informs the narrator that his sister has died and insists that she be entombed for two weeks in a vault in the house before being permanently buried. Usher comes to the narrator's bedroom, which is situated directly above the vault, and throws open his window to the storm. The narrator attempts to calm him by reading aloud The Mad Trist.
The book, in general, is very interesting as long as you do not get lost in the writing. Otherwise, the book does epitomize Poe's style.

My opinion of this book is positive because of the depth and the complicated plot. I like books that I can relate too and that are quite hard to understand. My favorite part was when Matilda came in to the room after she had supposadly died and killed her brother with her own bare hands. I would recommend this book to a friend only if they knew either what it was about or if I thought that they could handle a book of this magnitude.
