A disease is an abnormal bodily condition that impairs normal functioning. It can be recognized by signs and symptoms. “The Fall of The House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe. Is a story of an ancient family that once was happy and successful, but now is slowly dying…Because, a hereditary peculiar sensibility of temperament.
Roderick Usher is the only man left from the usher family. “The Writer spoke of acute bodily illness of a mental disorder which oppressed him and of an earnest desire to see me, as his only personal best friend “narrator. Usher had a mental illness, ha was feeling very sick so he called his only childhood friend to cheer him up. Usher’s mental illness can be seen in the house appearance, the narrator describes it very well “I had been passing alone, on my horseback, through a singular dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.” The house was black and deteriorated with a dirty tarn and broken fences. The house resembles Ushers state of mind and his appearance. The narrator describes him like a cadaverousness of complexion, and eye like large, liquid, and luminous beyond comparison and his pallid lips, and with almost no hair.
Usher had serious mental problems he also buried his sister alive knowing she suffered of catalepsy. One stormy night Roderick Usher got up scared because he had heard something, he went to the narrator’s room to tell him about the storm. The narrator sees that he is so scared he tries to calm him down by reading him his favorite romance story called “Mad Trist” of Sir Lancelot Canning. While the narrator is reading Lady Madeline appeared all covered in blood and jumped Usher and gave him a heart attack, he dies and as he dies the house falls down. Both Madeline and Usher died that night. Fortunately the narrator escapes before the fall of the house of Usher and narrates how the house cracks and fell into pieces.
In conclusion, I will like to say that Usher was crazy he needed to leave his house and liberate his mind, be in a new atmosphere. I think this could have helped Usher to recover his mind. It could have also helped Madeline because the mind of Usher and her was united because they were twins so this would have saved the ancient Usher family. By both surviving this bad time and saving the Usher family by stopping the curse the family had. But this dint happened and sadly with both Madeline and Roderick finished the long blood line of the Usher Family.
