  • Mind-style, modality, and Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"
    Zupan, Simon, 1976-
    This paper examines the interrelatedness of modality and the narrator's mind-style in Edgar Allan Poe's story 'The Fall of the House of Usher.' Uncertainty modality directly influences the way the ... reader perceives the fictional world. By adding uncertainty modality to his narrative, the first-person narrator admits that he has difficulties dealing with his visual and aural perceptions and, ultimately, his own mental and cognitive processes. This projects a view of the world characterized by pockets of uncertainty. These, in turn, serve as a vehicle for many of the Gothic effects the story has often been praised for: fear, terror, anxiety and discomfort.
