Post 5 - The Setting in "The Fall of the House of Usher"

The setting in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" begins with the main character's description of how dreary and depressing the day was. Poe went on with a description of the sad, decaying state of the house of Usher. Most of the story took place inside the house, but the most thought & emotion invoking description was of the image of the main character's approach up to the Usher house. It is enough to send chills down the spine of any reader and preps the reader for the climax and conclusion of the story.
