Question 1 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27
The story includes a gloomy, decaying landscape and an eerie house that seems haunted, both classic Gothic elements. Roderick Usher suffers from extreme psychological distress, and Madeline has a mysterious illness that appears to leave her cataleptic. The story is not set in the medieval period, so “a medieval setting” is not one of the best answers.
