| | Poe, "Fall of House of Usher" |
| | Conversely, Abel feels that Usher himself is the most important figure in the tale, and that it is really a “contest between life and death for the possession of Roderick Usher”(qtd. | | | She makes this argument through demonstrating the relation between what happens in “The Fall of the House of Usher” and a reference to a painting by Fuseli. | | | I was, perhaps, the more forcibly impressed with it, as he gave it, because, in the under or mystic current of its meaning, I fancied that I perceived, and for the first time, a full consciousness on the part of Usher, of the tottering of his lofty reason upon her throne. |

| | The Fall Of The House Of Usher |
| | Roderick tries to impress on Phillip that the house presents a threat to his own safety, yet he stoically tolerates Phillip's intrusion until it seems that Madeline might deny her morbid legacy and escape with her lover. | | | Instead of boldly kidnapping Madeline for her own good, his meddling only assures a grim outcome to the story by forcing Roderick to resort to violent measures to stop her inevitable flight. | | | In my view, all are locked in an hellish, eternal conflict from which there is no awaking, until the cycle is somehow broken. |

| | The Poe Decoder - "The Fall of the House of Usher" |
| | "The Fall of the House of Usher," which first appeared in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine in September, 1839, and was reprinted in Poe's books of 1840 and 1845, is a detailed, symbolic account of the derangement and dissipation of an individual's personality. | | | The story begins on one "...dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year...." From the very beginning, the reader, as a result of Poe's imagery, is aware of a sense of death and decay. | | | Every detail of this story, from the opening description of the dank tarn and the dark rooms of the house to the unearthly storm which accompanies Madeline's return from the tomb, helps to convey the terror that overwhelms and finally destroys the fragile mind of Roderick Usher. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: The Fall Of The House Of Usher [1960]: DVD |
| | I personally think all the Roger Corman adaptations of E A Poe's short stories are unique, and have a special atmosphere of their own, but "The Fall Of The House of Usher" is the creepiest. | | | Now obviously this tale is quite tame compared to present horror releases but no-one can deny the evil atmosphere created by the master of horror Vincent Price and the great story at the core of the haunting masterpiece. | | | A young man sets off into the New England countryside to find out what has happened to his beautiful fiacee, Madeline. |

| | For, surely, under light of Heaven, no man had ever before so terribly altered, in so brief a time, as had Roderick Usher. | | | Should events conspire to prevent your coming, then only God may know the consequences. | | | Can't you hear its evil laughter as it lurks in the hallways and grows fat upon the soul of my dead sister?! |

| | Fall of the House of Usher |
| | Poe& sense of cosmic anguish is beautifully rendered in a sequence in which a crazed Roderick (Jean Debucourt) races through the house in close-up (seemingly on a dolly) carrying the dead Madeline. | | | As with any adaptation of such a noncinematic author, there are deviations from the original. | | | Poe has proven to be one of the more enduring sources for filmmakers, not only because there’s something modern, indeed timeless, in his limning of altered mental states but, more prosaically, because his work is in the public domain and thus free to adapt. |

| | The same applies to the description of Usher's face; it goes into the greatest detail, and yet, when you try to picture him as a man of flesh and blood, it's impossible. | | | When I read the story again after thirty years I realised that my memory hadn't failed me. I also selected this particular story for another reason: Usher's views on inanimate nature. | | | The Fall of the House of Usher is a swamp in motion and the life of stones. |
