What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe? I looked upon the sc

ene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows. admiration terror

How do laura’s interactions with her husband reveal the conflict she experiences? she becomes an independent nobody and decides
almond37 [142]

Laura's interactions with her husband reveal the conflicts experienced by her, as instead of openly disagreeing with her husband’s desire to return to the Dominican Republic, she criticizes the foreign papers he reads.

<h3>What is a conflict?</h3>

A desire, the nature of which is opposite and endangered to that of the desire of the other person, is known as a conflict. In literature, a conflict can also be called as problems faced by a character in the composition.

In the example given above, Laura is seen interacting with her husband, and criticizes him indirectly by pointing at the foreign paper which he reads. This is an expression of conflict in the statement.

Hence, option D holds true regarding the conflict experienced by Laura.
