Roderick is a character in the short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator flees the house after Roderick dies and he turns back to see the house spit in two and sink into the tarn.
True. In "The Fall of the House of Usher," the narrator's visit to the house does last for several hours. The narrator spends time exploring the house with Roderick Usher and engaging in conversations with him before the climax of the story.
The narrator stayed at the Narragansett House, the only hotel in Starkfield, during his visit.
One reason may be that using an unnamed narrator makes the reader feel almost as if he or she is the narrator and that he or she is seeing and experiencing everything the narrator is. Had Poe given the narrator a name, the reader would feel more detached from the narrator more as if it were someone else experiencing everything.
In Poe's short story, the house symbolizes the narrator's descent into madness and isolation. The deteriorating state of the house mirrors the deteriorating state of the narrator's mental health. It also serves as a physical representation of the narrator's inner turmoil and haunted psyche.
Roderick calls the narrator a "madman" because he believes the narrator buried his sister alive. Roderick is overcome with guilt and hallucinations, causing him to view the narrator as a crazed figure contributing to the destruction of the House of Usher.
No, the narrator in The Fall of the House of Usher is quite sane, unlike the narrators in The Tell-tale Heart and A Cask of Amontillado, who show various signs of insanity. There is no reason for the narrator to be insane because the story itself is not about the narrator. The story is about Roderick Usher as seen through the narrator's eyes. If the narrator were insane the entire story would be questionable and there is no literary purpose to that. With the other two stories, however, having the factual events be questionable heightens the horror of the story by implying that the two people murdered, were done in for no reason at all.
