Describe the
setting.
In Haunted Mansion, Several

begins at dusk on an autumn day in an earlier
time, probably the 19th
Century.
The
place
is
a
forbidding
mansion
in
a
forlorn
countryside.
The
mansion,
covered
by
a
fungus,
is
encircled
by
a
small
lake,
called
a
tarn,
which
resembles
a
moat. A bridge across the tarn provides
access to the mansion.

“
the
vacant eye-like windows
”

eye-
like windows”

the Usher mansion.

“The

a Small Lake Encircling the
Mansion and Reflecting Its Image
:
(1) Madeline as the twin of
Roderick, reflecting his image and personality;
(2) The image of reality
which Roderick and the narrator perceive; though
the
water of the tarn reflects details
exactly, the image is upside down, leaving open
the
possibility that Roderick and the
narrator see a false reality;
(3) The desire of the Ushers to isolate
themselves from the outside world.
