Unknown Story
Tekst Storyboardowy
- ImageryParagraph 1Edger Allan Poe uses scattered imagery throughout the story to create a complete mood of the story; for example, when the author arrives at the Usher's home, he strongly describes the disheartening scene, allowing the reader to not only feel what the author is feeling, but also envision it in great detail.
- I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eyelike windows—upon a few rank sedges1—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul, which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveler upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught2 of the sublime.
- SimileParagraph 48Throughout the story, the Usher's house is personified as if it is its own being with thoughts and feelings just like any other. As the story progresses, the house is given a powerful and rather evil presence and is described in great detail.
- there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters
