Which two words from the excerpt best contribute to the Gothic mood and tone of the story? -
Having deposited our mournful burden upon tressels within this region of HORROR, we partially turned aside the yet unscrewed lid of the coffin, and looked upon the face of the tenant. A striking similitude between the brother and sister now first ARRESTED my attention; and Usher, divining, perhaps, my thoughts, MURMURED out some few words from which I learned that the deceased and himself had been twins, and that sympathies of a scarcely intelligible nature had always existed between them. Our glances, however, rested not long upon the dead—for we could not regard her UNAWED. The disease which had thus ENTOMBED the lady in the maturity of youth, had left, as usual in all maladies of a strictly cataleptical character, the MOCKERY of a faint blush upon the bosom and the face, and that suspiciously LINGERING smile upon the lip which is so terrible in death.
