Why does the visitor come to the usher house?

The Visitor came home because his friend Roderick sent him a letter asking frankly about his company. Roderick wrote that he felt physically and emotionally ill, so the narrator helps him quickly.

Explanation:

Roderick Usher is the twin brother of Madeline Usher and one of the last living Ushers. The Visitor came home because his friend Roderick sent him a letter asking frankly about his company. Roderick wrote that he felt physically and emotionally ill, so the Visitor helps him quickly. The Visitor mentions that the Usher family, although an old clan, never thrived. Since her arrival, she has observed the family's isolationist tendencies, as well as the mysterious and special connection between Madeline (Roderick's twin sister) and Roderick. Through history and its various states of consciousness, Madeline ignores the narrator's presence. After Roderick Usher claims Madeline is dead, he helps her put it in the underground vault, although she has noticed Madeline's red appearance.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
