"The Fall of the House of Usher" tells the story of an unnamed narrator who visits his childhood friend, Roderick Usher, in his decaying family mansion. Roderick, plagued by mental illness and physical ailments, lives with his twin sister, Madeline, who is in a cataleptic state. As the narrator spends time with Roderick, the oppressive atmosphere of the house affects him deeply. Strange occurrences unfold, culminating in Madeline's return from the grave and the collapse of the ancient house itself, symbolizing the downfall of the Usher lineage. The story explores themes of fear, madness, and the supernatural. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
