In “The Fall of the House of Usher” Poe uses a great deal of ornate language to describe the setting of the story. He creates an extremely gloomy mood that he reader can actually begin to feel. The setting is described as “During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens”(160). Poe doesn’t just say that the story takes place on an autumn day or that the clouds are hanging low. He describes the autumn day as “dull, dark, and soundless” and the clouds as “oppressively low.” This gives the reader the picture of a dark autumn day where the clouds are so low that the reader can actually feel
