Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! In "The fall of the house of usher" by edger allen poe what do you think is happening at the end of the story when Madeline usher appears ( is she a hallucination a ghost or a real person who has been buried alive?) support your response with evidence from the story.

Answer 1

This is more of a personal opinion as it is not directly indicate what she was,. she was most likely a ghost as she was already dead and it would have been very unlikely for her to come out from being buried alive. She is also a metaphor showing how the house would die along with the family.
