Based on this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher,” what is the best location for the House of Usher?

  • The correct answer is e) a deserted place.
  • A deserted place suits more with the tone of Edgar Allan Poe “The Fall of the House of Usher, 1839. Apart from this, the description gives some details that make us infer a deserted place; “through a singularly dreary tract of country” Dreary is a key word for the description that matches a deserted place. In addition, later in the story uses these words, “ghastly tree-stems” that combine with the mentioned scenery. In the excerpt, the word “melancholy” show us a tone that matches the same sense of the scenery. Deserted also match the feelings of the narrator’s friend, Roderick Usher, as he was deserted of emotions, and all the House of Usher falls into the same tone.
