The fall of the house of usher 6. What do the reactions to Sir Launcelot's "Mad Trist"
reveal about the narrator's and Roderick's different
points of view in the passage?
A. The narrator misses the parallels between Ethelred's
actions and those of Lady Madeline, accidentally
exacerbating Roderick even further.
B. The narrator brushes off the noise of Madeline's
escape as coincidence when matching Ethelred's
situation, showing his engrossment in fiction whereas
Roderick is all too present in reality, despite his
madness.
C. The narrator considers the writing of the "Mad Trist"
boring, but Roderick applies the fictitious action to the
events of the storm, exciting his anxieties further.
D. The narrator only comes to recognize the house as
sentient when the doors, like the jaws of the dragon
from the "Mad Trist," open to reveal a half-dead
Madeline, suggesting that the two male characters
briefly share a similar point of view only at the end of
the piece.

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
