So, much has been said about Rodrick, his sister Madeline, and the house they both represent and dwell within. But the third character, Rodrick’s childhood friend, the nameless narrator of this dark and haunting tale, has been criminally overlooked. In this video we'll summarize and analyze the characters, plot, and themes of Poe's more famous short story. We'll also talk about how we, and Poe, talk about madness. Finally, we'll bring look some of the most exciting young scholars in the field of madness and ghost literature.\n
