The analysis focuses on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," arguing that the central theme is the narrator's failure to rationally interpret his experiences rather than the physical collapse of the mansion. It explores the narrator's identity and his reliance on rationality as a means of understanding the unsettling events at the Usher estate. The paper highlights the psychological effects of these experiences on the narrator and seeks to uncover the deeper message Poe conveys through this tale.
