Today in class, we read the Fall of the House of Usher. I believe that the short story talks about how isolationism
leads to becoming an outcast and that being a part of society leads to being normal. In the short story,
the house represents wealth, due to its size and decorations, but also represents insanity because it
drives Lord Usher insane by separating him from society.
Whoever wrote this is a genius
ReplyDeleteit had a lot of gloom and was kind of gothic. It was hard to understand, also. I thought it was really descriptive, and used a lot of alliteration
ReplyDeletethis text reminds me of something ive seen recently, but i cant remember it... do you think you can help me figure out what it was?
ReplyDeletei don't know....
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree isolationism is addressed in the story, I think the major idea it is trying to portray is much deeper than that.
