Storyboard Description

Fall of the House of Usher characters - OSCAR characterization

Storyboard Text

  • RODERICK USHER
  • “Although, as boys, we had been even intimate associates, yet I really knew little of my friend. His reserve had been always excessive and habitual.”
  • The narrator mentions that Usher is convinced that his family mansion had obtained a “dint of long sufferance” over his spirit.
  • “In this unnerved, in this pitiable, condition, I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, FEAR.”
  • The way that Usher is described is creepy, and weird. He thinks his house is making him sick, and he seems oddly connected to his sister.
  • S: Character's Speech
  • “We sat down; and for some moments, while he spoke not, I gazed upon him with a feeling half of pity, half of awe. Surely, man had never before so terribly altered, in so brief a period, as had Roderick Usher!”
