(a) Analyze what ways is the narrator affected by Usher's condition ? (b) Evaluate Do you think the narrator is a reliable witness to the events he describes ? Explain . The Fall Of The House Of Usher

Answered by admin @



An analysis of the ways in which the narrator is affected by Usher's condition is:

The narrator is shocked by Usher's condition. He is almost unrecognizable. Usher looks ill, as if he is about to die. His appearance has a huge impact on the narrator.

Now, let's discuss if the narrator is a reliable witness:

I do not believe the narrator is a reliable witness to the events he describes. Usher's condition and the somber, ominous house where they are both living could have had such a impact that the narrator has begun to hallucinate.

  • This question refers to the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher," by Edgar Allan Poe.
  • Usher and the narrator are friends. The narrator comes to stay at Usher's house and keep him company.
  • However, something very strange has happened to Usher. He does not look like himself anymore. He looks sick, pale, nervous.
  • According to the narrator, Usher's sister had an illness that made her look dead when she was not. Apparently, she was buried alive and has now returned.
  • It is quite difficult to trust the narrator. After spending time with an ill Usher at a somber house, it wouldn't be surprising if he had started to hallucinate about the things Usher told him.
  • In conclusion, Usher's condition shocks the narrator and the narrator himself is unreliable.
