Poe writes that Usher "entered, at some length, into what he conceived to be the nature of his malady." What exactly is his "malady" we never learn. Even Usher seems uncertain, contradictory in his description: "It was, he said, a constitutional and a family evil, and one for which he despaired to find a remedy--a mere nervous affection, he immediately added, which would undoubtedly soon pass off." The Narrator notes an "incoherence" and "inconsistency" in his old friend, but he offers little by way of scientific explanation of the condition. As a result, the line between sanity and insanity becomes blurred, which paves the way for the Narrator's own decent into madness. This madness is manifested not only in the breakdown of Usher's mind but in his decrepit body. The diseased rotting corps of his sister also illustrates this motif.

Lisa [10]

I guess you're talking about Animal Farm. Well, the irony is that the animals came together and fought to overthrow the farmers who, they believed, were their greatest enemies, but in fact the greatest enemy of animals was "power." Once the farmers were defeated, the animals achieved their dreamed freedom, until "power" fell on the pigs, they began another kind of exploration and the animals lost their freedom again.  That is, as much as there is a fight against an enemy, another will arise, once he has power to concentrate in the hands of a single person, or a single group.

When I talk about this "power", I am referring to being able to be superior and oppressing others, because I think it is more certain, stronger, smarter, etc.

I hope it helps.
