| Summary | "La Falo de Uŝero-Domo" by Edgar Allan Poe is a short novel written in the early to mid-19th century. This classic tale of gothic horror explores themes of madness, decay, and the supernatural, centering around the eerie atmosphere of the Usher family mansion and its inhabitants. The story unfolds through the perspective of an unnamed narrator who visits his childhood friend Roderick Usher, revealing the deep psychological and physical afflictions that both the house and the family suffer from. The narrative begins with the narrator's arrival at the Usher mansion, where he encounters Roderick, whose mental state has severely deteriorated. As they spend time together, the narrator learns about Roderick's twin sister, Madeline, who is afflicted by a mysterious illness. The atmosphere grows increasingly oppressive, filled with a sense of impending doom, as Roderick reveals his fears surrounding his family lineage and the haunting nature of their ancestral home. Eventually, Madeline dies and is entombed in a vault within the house, but her return from the grave culminates in a dramatic and terrifying conclusion that sees the house itself collapse, both physically and metaphorically, symbolizing the end of the Usher bloodline and the destructive power of fear and isolation.
