There argon many comparisons that can be made in this story but the most obvious integrity would be the connection between the lives of the characters and the can in which they dwell.Poe does a easily job at purposely confusing the reader as to whether he is talking ab step forward the literal theatre of operations of shew or the nonliteral house of prove. The literal house is described as being in rough condition, with a crack from the top of the house to the bottom. It has tarn around the right(prenominal) of it and is in a general state of disrepair.
