During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year,
when the clouds hung oppressively low in the
heavens, I had been passing alone, on
horseback, through a singularly dreary tract
of country; and at length found myself, as the
shades of evening drew on, within view of the
melancholy House of Usher. I know not how
it was - but, with the first glimpse of the
building, a sense of insufferable gloom
pervaded my spirit.
-"The Fall of the House of Usher,"
Edgar Allan Poe
Which of the following statements best describes
the effect of setting on the mood of "The Fall of the
House of Usher"?
O The country scene creates a mood of peace

beauty and wonder.

of menace and gloom.
The melancholy house creates a mood of
frenzy and excitement.
