Madeline is one of the last Ushers within the family tree and the house. She had a disease or condition where she would be as stiff as a corpse called Cataleptical. Adding to that, at one point of the story when the Narrator and Rodrick were eating, Madeline would always pass by in one of the hallways like a ghost. The house was cracking each day, furniture collapsing, and windows breaking. Rodrick contrieved the house but the damage of the house each day will not stop.
     
      What's also strange about the house is that Rodrick has a disease where he thinks that things are there but they aren't really. He also sometime hear noises that aren't truly existing. As Rodrick's madness goes on, day by day, Rodrick brooded the house to be haunting him. What's also worse is that he doesn't know what's wrong of Madeline. At one part of the story, the Narrator shares a poem that may share Rodrick's insanity of the house and himself. The poem is mainly based on how the house is haunting, crumbling, cracking, and paranormal. 

Contrieved (v. or adj.): to put together with effort, laste, and without thought.

Brooded (v.): to think about]]> 2018-11-29 19:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/adang102/r1nlnlr5gowc/wish/309509362 kmhougen100 https://padlet.com/adang102/r1nlnlr5gowc/wish/309509949 "I shuddered knowing not why-from these paintings (vivid as their images now and before me) I would in vain endeavor to educe more than a small portion which should lie within the compass of merely written words." 
       This quote connects to the romantic and Gothic literature theme of choosing feelings over logic. I choose this because it talks about how he is more influence by paintings of feelings than read a book or listen to logic.
"I have just spoken of that morbid condition of the auditory nerve which rendered all music intolerable to the suffer with the exception of certain effects of stringed instruments"

"No outlet was observed in any portion of its vast extent, and no torch, or other artificial light was discernible; yet a flood of intense rays rolled throughout, and bathed the whole in a ghastly and inappropriate splendor"
