Please see my new website www.therealpoe.com for a full answer to this question. "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a complex story,which, like all Poe's stories, uses irony and paradox to attack certain commonly held axioms, such as a belief in sense certainty, which is what kills Usher! Poe is. in fact, attacking Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
