Introduction to Dark Romanticism: American Gothic

Question 1 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

Which elements of the gothic tale does “The Fall of the House of Usher” contain? Check the four best answers.

Answer
A
a dreary landscape
B
mental illness
C
a haunted house
D
a medieval setting
E
a mysterious illness

Explanation

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.
