PARAGRAPH ANSWER: How is "The Fall of the House of Usher" a classic Gothic Tale? What elements does Poe use to add to the suspense?
Remember, a Gothic Tale includes the following elements: 1. Set in a
haunted castle or house. 2. A damsel (girl) in distress. 3. An atmosphere
of mystery and suspense. 4. There is a ghost or monster. 5. The weather
is always awful. 6. Dreaming/nightmares. 7. Burdened male protagonist
(main character) *

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is a classic Gothic Tale since Edgar Allan Poe includes all of the 7 main elements.

Explanation: What makes the story a genuine gothic story is that it fulfills all the important elements, such as the hunted house (Usher's mansion), the damsel in distress (Usher's sister coming as a suffering soul from being buried alive), an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, (the narrator witnessing the strange behaviors of his childhood friend and the noises heard), a monster (the gothic fate that the characters possess), the awful weather (decaying trees and dark day), nightmares (Usher's paranoic attitude), and burdened male protagonist (the scared narrator).

what are the sentences?

< > answer < >

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
