In "The Fall of the House of Usher," how does the burial of Madeline help advance the plot of the story

slega [8]

The narrator tells his visit to a childhood friend, Roderick Usher, who owns a house a little strange. This man is sick and tells him to come and cheer him up. He lives with his sister, Lady Madeline, who is also very sick and so he feels very sad.

The narrator spends a season with his friend dedicating himself to talk, read and listen to music. However, one day, Lady Madeline dies, or so it seems. They will leave it in a coffin, in a room in the lower part of the house.

From there, Roderick Usher will gradually lose his head and become sicker and sicker until a stormy night begins to get very upset when he thinks he hears noises throughout the house. To reassure him, the narrator begins to read a book until he also hears those noises, like laments and cries. Roderick Usher, already insane, realizes that they have buried her alive and that is when Lady Madeline appears to them, a fact that precipitates the death of her brother. Before that, and with the imminent collapse of the house, the narrator flees leaving behind the ruins sinking into the lake of the surrounding area.

It is important to emphasize the fundamental role of the house, since its influence on the characters and vice versa is decisive. Also, the negative force that underlies that influence and that leads to the death of the two protagonists and the destruction of the building. That force is immediately discovered at the beginning of the story when the narrator describes his arrival and the feeling of grief and sadness that the vision of the great house produces.

Of course, before this first impression, death is presaged because when you are looking at the house and its surroundings, like the lake and the dry trees, you can only take it as something that is at the end of its resistance to time, just like that of its inhabitants, the last two Usher. It is Lady Madeline, buried alive before her time, who causes the destruction of the house, before her time too, and the death of her brother, to sink all of it into the lake, just as the story ends.

However, what really configures these elements, as many characters as situations and environments, is an extension of the mood, of Poe's mind. This can be seen in the symbology of some of them, such as the house. House that for its character of housing is identified with the body and human thoughts.

Answer:

1.Odysseus leaves his home tot fight the war in Troy. He came up with the idea fort eh Trojan horse which allowed the Greeks to win the war

2.He traveled to the Land of Cicones (Ismaros) for food and water. He ended up raiding the town for all its food, water and gold. Many men are lost.

3.They arrive on Island of Lotus Eaters. He sent a few of his men ahead and they hadn’t returned for hours. The food and drink of the island had nectar of the lotus in it which makes the men not want to go home. This wasn’t done maliciously and Odysseus and his men left.

4.They next dock on the Island of the Cyclops. There they set up camp in a cave and feast. That night, the cyclops, Polyphemus, enters and places a rock in front of the opening. He grabs up two men and eats them whole. He does this again in the morning. Odysseus comes up with a plan, gives the cyclops spiked wine, he falls asleep and Odysseus blinds the cyclops with an olive branch and he and his men hoist themselves to the bottom of the cyclopes sheep and ride out.

5.they next stop at Aeolia, the island of Aeolus the wind god. He gave Odysseus a bag of wind not to be opened until he got back home. His men became jealous thinking Odysseus was keeping gold for himself and opened it, making their journey longer.

6.They are swept back to Aeolia by the winds but aren’t met with the same kindness as the first time.

7.After the wind storm they reach the island of Laestrygonians( Telepylos). Three men go ahead and the Laestrygonian king eats one of them. They all run back to their ships but the Laestrygonians smashed 11 of them, they also eat more of the men. Odysseus orders the rest of the men onto one ship and they escape.

8.Odysseus and his surviving crew arrive on the island of Aeaea, home of Circe. She turns his men into pigs. Hermes warns Odysseus and gives him a magical flower that will protect him. Odysseus stays with Circe for a year. He leaves Aeaea, with Circe advising Odysseus it is essential that he visit Hades to talk to the prophet Tiresias before resuming his trip home.

9.Odysseus and his men journey to the Underworld, coming to the River Acheron. Odysseus speaks with Tiresias, and Tiresias cautions Odysseus on Helios' cattle and warns him about Scylla and Charybdis.

10.Odysseus and his crew return to Aeaea, to bury one of his shipmates (who had died in Aeaea). Circe warns him of the dangers of the Sirens, and Scylla and Charybdis.11. Odysseus and his crew manage to sail safely pass the Sirens without any losses. He put beeswax in his ears and had his men tie him to the mast to resist the sirens song.

11.Odysseus and his crew manage to sail safely pass the Sirens without any losses. He put beeswax in his ears and had his men tie him to the mast to resist the sirens song.

12. They sail into the Strait of Messina where Scylla and Charybdis reside. Odysseus chooses to sail close to Scylla rather than the whirlpool of Charybdis (Acylla takes 6 men, one for each head while Charybdis will take all the men and the ship) They throw a lamb onto the cliff adn Scylla ate that instead of the men.

13.Odysseus and his crew land on Thrinacia, home of Helios' sacred cattle. Though Odysseus had warned his crew not to eat Helios' cattle, they ended up eating some of the cattle while he was away. Helios was angered and asked Zeus to punish those who had eaten his cattle. Zeus brought about a great storm, completely destroying Odysseus' ship and killing all his men.

14.Odysseus, clinging to a piece of his destroyed vessel, was washed away at sea. He is swept past Scylla and Charybdis, again, and again manages to pass by safely and washes ashore on the island Ogygia, home to Calypso. Odysseus stays with her for seven years.

15.After staying with Calypso for seven years, Athena intervenes and asks Zeus to order Calypso to let Odysseus go. Odysseus built a boat and set sail once more. Poseidon, seeing Odysseus at sea, brings a violent storm down on Odysseus and his ship is destroyed. Odysseus washes up on the shore of Scheria, kingdom of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians. King Alcinous, Queen Arete and their daughter Nausicaa are extremely hospitable to Odysseus; providing him with clothing, food and entertainment. King Alcinous offers Odysseus one of his ships so that Odysseus can finally return to his homeland and family.

16After twenty long and hard years, Odysseus returns at last to Ithaca.
