"The Fall of the House of Usher"

The author of "The Fall of the House of Usher", Edgar Allan Poe, is known for being a dark writer. He has many short stories and poems that introduce gothic material. For instance, in "The Fall of the House of Usher", the main character's description is faint and frightening. The house which he lives in is described similar to the main character. They are both dark, scary,  and mysterious.
    Edgar Allan Poe uses the two windows of the house, and describes it as the eyes of a human. The door along with its other features is imagined as a frown. It seems as though the main character is in such a tragic mood that the house is giving away his emotions. Whatever is happening on the inside of the house, is happening on the outside of the house as well. Edgar also inputs fear into his story, which makes the story gothic as well. The narrator and the main character both wake up in the middle of a night, knowing that there is a dead body several floors beneath them. The scariness of his writings is what makes him an interesting yet gothic writer.
