the fall of the house of usher
Text z Príbehu
- Hyperbole
- Foreshadowing
- Personification
- Narrator: "Damn these windows looking mad creepy." -Mariafelix
- The narrator describes ;"the white trunks of decayed trees turn his heart to ice" as an example of hyperbole. This contributes to the Usher's sadness inflicted from the death of Madeline.
- Similie
- Narrator: "there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters.."
- Foreshadowing is used to describe Madeline's death because she has a cataleptical disease that makes her sleep for long periods. This is an example because they can't really tell if she dead or just sleeping.
- Symbolism
- The narrator describes the exterior of the house as, “upon the bleak walls, upon the vacant eyelike windows, upon a few rank sedges, and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees.”
- Alliteration
- Narrator uses a simile to describe the violent falling apart of the house, and it adds eeriness and a scary component to house of Usher.
- The House of Usher refers to both the house and the family. The ghastly images inside the house symbolize the madness of the house's inhabitants. The Gothic literature and stories of strange goings-on represent the inhabitants' thoughts.
- A mere glimpse of the Usher mansion inspires the narrator to use alliteration by "an iciness, a sickening of the heart."
