What does the sea symbolize in this passage?
loyalty among shipmates
obstacles on life's journey
the knowledge of leaders
hospitality among friends
now zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
the bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and
lashed out strips in the big wind.
we saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped
the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out
and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third dawn came with ringlets shining. then we
put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.
i might have made it safely home, that time,
but as i came round malea the current
took me out to sea, and from the north
a fresh gale drove me on, past cythera.
nine days i drifted on the teeming sea
before dangerous high winds.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
