	10. The Fall of the House of Usher By Edgar Allan Poe. Matthews, Brander. 1907. The Short-Story
		The Fall of the House of Usher By Edgar Allan Poe.
		I had learned, too, the very remarkable fact that the stem of the Usher race, all time-honored as it was, had put forth, at no period, any enduring branch; in other words, that the entire family lay in the direct line of descent, and had always, with very trifling and very temporary variation, so lain.
		The disease which had thus entombed the lady in the maturity of youth, had left, as usual in all maladies of a strictly cataleptical character, the mockery of a faint blush upon the bosom and the face, and that suspiciously lingering smile upon the lip which is so terrible in death.

	The Poe Decoder - "The Fall of the House of Usher"
		Roderick and his twin sister Madeline are the last of the all time-honored "House of Usher." They are both suffering from rather strange illnesses which may be attributed to the intermarriage of the family.
		Roderick suffers from "a morbid acuteness of the senses"; while Madeline's illness is characterized by "...a settled apathy, a gradual wasting away of the person, and frequent although transient affections of a partly cataleptical character..." which caused her to lose consciousness and feeling.
		Poe uses the phrase "House of Usher" to refer to both the decaying physical structure and the last of the "all time-honored Usher race...." Roderick has developed a theory that the stones of the house have consciousness, and that they embody the fate of the Usher family.

		This is when we meet Roderick Usher, a handsome, yet odd sort of fellow, who we learn has a painfully acute sensitivity of all the senses, preferring the dimmest of light, the blandest of food, the softest of clothing, the mildest of odor, and the quietest of sounds.
		You see, the house and the grounds were once fertile, and full of life, but evil overtook the Usher line, displayed in the many crimes perpetrated by the various ancestors, poisoning the family and the estate, or so says Roderick.

		Theatrical adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe's Fall of the House of Usher are so prevalent that it seems difficult to believe that a truly original interpretation is still possible.
		This was particularly problematic in the scenes between William Hawken (Derek Stearns) and Roderick Usher (Michael Pinney), which lack the fire that characterized the performance overall.
		But this concern disappeared once Madeline Usher (Linda Manning) entered the scene, for Manning had a dynamic presence powerful enough to help dramatic scenes hold their own against the dance.

		One of the things that works about the film is that it is never completely proven whether Roderick Usher is insane, or whether the house truly is evil.
