PLEASE HELP I NEED EVIDENCE FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES TOO

Answer 1

Answer:

these stories were written around the time of the American renaissance.

Explanation:

The Red Death symbolizes the inevitability of death. The Castle represents man's efforts to prevent death. Regardless of wealth, social position, or popularity, death arrives as an uninvited guest.

In "The Fall of the House of Usher" are madness, the supernatural, and artistic purpose. Madness: The Usher family has a long history of incest and, as a result, many contemporary Ushers, including Roderick, suffer from insanity.
