Answer:
In this excerpt from the novel "The Mysteries of Udolfo" written by Ann Radcliffe, we see how the author develops the theme of fear. She is doing that mostly through the atmosphere - the surroundings around the protagonist are scary and dark; there are tall trees and woods that instill fear in her. She specifically says in the excerpt that these surroundings "awakened terrific images in her mind," meaning that she was scared of what might happen.
Other images include "the deep tone of the portal bell," which even increases her fear and anxiety about the whole situation. The building itself is quite scary, looking ancient and dreary which only makes her feel even more frightened.
The examples above are directly stated in the text to show her fear but the atmosphere itself makes even the reader feel uncomfortable with its unsettling nature. It is both directly stated and implied based on the atmosphere that the protagonist is quite frightened.

The most obvious fault of this paragraph is the lack of punctuation marks. The entire paragraph is one sentence, when there are supposed to be periods, commas, and other punctuation marks to separate them. This makes this paragraph one run-on sentence, which is grammatically incorrect.
The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.
I believe the tone is somewhat dramatic based on the dialogue such as "shot his hand out in front of him", it makes the story seem a lot more interesting than what it really is; a normal encounter.
