Read the excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher." 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

by presenting the setting as an ornate, old-fashioned home
by depicting a strong wind to support the theme of nature's storms
by revealing a conflict in which Usher's fears are realized
