The fall of the house of usher 6. What do the reactions to Sir Launcelot's "Mad Trist"
reveal about the narrator's and Roderick's different
points of view in the passage?
A. The narrator misses the parallels between Ethelred's
actions and those of Lady Madeline, accidentally
exacerbating Roderick even further.
B. The narrator brushes off the noise of Madeline's
escape as coincidence when matching Ethelred's
situation, showing his engrossment in fiction whereas
Roderick is all too present in reality, despite his
madness.
C. The narrator considers the writing of the "Mad Trist"
boring, but Roderick applies the fictitious action to the
events of the storm, exciting his anxieties further.
D. The narrator only comes to recognize the house as
sentient when the doors, like the jaws of the dragon
from the "Mad Trist," open to reveal a half-dead
Madeline, suggesting that the two male characters
briefly share a similar point of view only at the end of
the piece.
