Comparison Of Life And The Fall Of The House Of Usher

"A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical reality... it must tell us more than we already know." - E. M. Forster

I agree with E.M Forster that real literature is showing and telling people about different views of life that can be more than reality and accuracy.

In the story there are going to be things that are not really believable. Readers are going to be horrified when they read what the story is about. In the A Psalm of Life,Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is the author of the poem. The poem teaches that you should live your life well and don't live your life in a foolish way. Longfellow thinks we are going to die sooner than later. The perished people of past generations reminds that we can get inspiration from our past generations. The author of this poem says after they left the earth they “left us the footprints of their path to life to remember.”

In the house the man starts thinking about marrying his own sister. The fall of the house of usher has a horrific mood. The mansion is dark and silent all day and the man started to hear things.

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Fall of the House of Usher is telling us if you’re alone in a house that is dark and silent then you will be paranoid and then eventually you will go crazy. Poe writes dark and horrifying stories, but Longfellow wrote a poem about his own
