The Fall of the House of Usher (in Contemporary English)

Poe, throughout his writing career, was interested in horror themes such as claustrophobia, fear of being buried alive, incest, mental disorders, and in doubles.
This latter theme plays an important role in “Usher.” The twins —Roderick and Lady Madeline Usher— show a “striking similitude.” But identical twins aren’t the only doubles since the story contains several other mirror images, parallel stories, echoes, and allusions that replicate the tale’s reality.
