Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england.

a wide flat field is "finer” than rugged terrain for it can be tilled easily to produce wheat and so represents good white bread. a small thatched cottage, which a modern viewer might consider pretty, will be considered unattractive by an elizabethan traveler, for cottagers are generally poor and able to offer little in the way of hospitality. ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features you go out of your way to see.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
