Read the excerpt from poe s "the fall of the house of usher." i had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity - an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the gray wall, and the silent tarn - a pestilent and mystic vapor. which observation can be made about the narrator?

The narrator seems to be overwhelmed and confused by the atmosphere around the house.

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer and it is said he created the modern conception of short story. The Fall of the House of Usher is one of his most famous stories. It tells the story of an unnamed character (also the narrator) who comes back to a house (the one mentioned in the title) because one of his friend (Roderick) asks him to do so. From the beginning, the house looks spooky in and outside.

In the excerpt we can see that the narrator looks very impressed by the house and the atmosphere. There are some elements that indicate the confusion (specially the mystic vapor) in the speaker's voice. He is also overwhelmed by all the elements on the setting: the wall, trees and the tarn help crete an unknown context, so the speaker also looks overwhelmed by these elements that set the house in a different atmosphere.
