“You must not- you shall not look out at this!” This appearance which surprises you so has been seen in other places too. Perhaps the lake is the cause. I’ll read and you shall listen and thus we’ll live through this fearful night together.
Narrator
When I had arrived I felt something strange and fearful about the old stone house, about the lake in front of it, and about Usher himself.
I rushed from the room; I rushed from the house. I ran.
The narrator is never described in the story.

“I shall die! I must die of this fool sickness. In this way and no other way. Shall be lost . I fear what will happen in the future, not for what happens. I have indeed no fear of pain, but only fear of it’s result.”
Rodrick Usher
“He felt that the house with the grey walls and the quiet lake around it had somehow throughout the long years got a hold of his soul and spirit.”
“Yes!” He said. “I heard it! Many times, minutes, hours, days have I heard it, but dare not speak. We have put her living in the vault! I heard her first movement days ago!”
His face had always been unusua with horrible white skin, grown out hair, and strange light in his eyes.

Rodrick was happy that the narrator went to visit hi while in his condition of this illness. He appreciated his appearance.
His effect on others is impacted n his subconscious of fear of fear an isolation which leads people to think of his as mental so people have a weird feelin.
