What point of view is Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher told?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Edward H. Davidson in his book Poe: A Critical Study, "The Fall of the House of Usher" can be interpreted as "a detailed account of the derangement and dissipation of an individual's personality." The house itself becomes the "symbolic embodiment of this individual." The fissure or the crack in the decaying mansion, that is noted by the narrator near the beginning of the story, represents "an irreconcilable fracture in the individual's personality." Roderick represents the mind or the intellect, while the portion of personality that we refer to as the senses (hearing, seeing, touching, tasting and smelling) is represented by Madeline. During the course of the story, the intellect (Roderick) tries to detach itself from its more physically oriented twin (Madeline). This can be seen in Roderick's aversion to his own senses as well as by his premature entombment of his twin sister. Living without Madeline (that is without the senses), Roderick's condition deteriorates. He begins to suffer from an "...intolerable agitation of the soul." At the end of the story, Madeline returns from her premature tomb to claim the maddened Roderick, " a victim to the terrors he had anticipated." As the two are reunited in death (the mind can neither live nor die without its physical counterpart, the senses), the house ( a symbol of a now deranged individual) crumbles into the "deep and dank tarn," as the narrator flees in terror for his own sanity.

Asked by Wiki User

Apart from a brief sojourn in the US Army ( where he served two years and rose to the rank of sergeant)- later a USMA appointment- Poe was a man of the pen all of his adult life. He wrote short stories, poetry and literary criticism, all in longhand as typewriters had not yet been invented. They did not come out until after the Civil War.

What is the hidden message in the poem 'A Valentine' by Edgar Allan Poe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Frances Sargent Osgood

The poem is a valentine to Frances Sargent Osgood. Poe hid her name within the poem.

The first letter of the first line is the first letter of her name.

The second letter of the second line is the second letter of her name.

The third letter of the third line is the third letter of her name.

And so on, and so on.

In the first form of the poem, Poe accidentally mispelled her middle name but corrected it in a later version.

Also published as "To _____ _____ _____" and "To Her Whose Name is Written Below."

Please see the Related Links below for an explanation of the hidden message.

Who is Annabel Lee's husband?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Annabel Lee refers to Virginia, Edgar Allan Poe's wife. When she died, he became really depressed and wrote a bunch of poems about her using different names such as his love, Annabel Lee, Lenore, the angel and such. So Annabel Lee's husband is Edgar Allan Poe, basically.
