The fall of the Usher House

In the Fall of the usher house the narrater descrides the Usher house as a very dark and melancholy place. It is described as a very dark with no sedges and scary mansion that looks very desolate, and the only way to the house is on this very small bridge that goes over this lurid moat. The narrator stayed in the usher for a couple of weeks and while he was their he read books and played the guitar with the Usher. Usher had a twin sister and it is said that some twins can feel the others pain and Usher could hear his sister. Ushers sister had died and the doctors didn't know what the disease was. As the days passed Usher then with his acute hearing hear his sister get out of the tomb. "There was along tumultuous shouting sound like the voicee of a thosand waters, and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the Fragments of the Usher House". This is my favorite quote from the story,and it shows Ushers acute sense of hearing. Usher had no decedents because his family had all died from sicknesses and he had no cousins and he and his sister had no children, so when he and his sister died the Ushers family try was over and the house fell apart.
