What figurative language is used in ''The Fall Of the House of Usher''?

You might like to look at the ending for an excellent
example of figurative langauge that Poe employs to help convey the horror and terrror in
this excellent story. Let us remember that figurative language takes the form of
comparing one thing to something else, either through use of a simile, a metaphor, or
personification. As the narrator flees the house and turns back, note how a simile is
used to describe the sound of the House of Usher as it, like its owners, meets its
end:

...there
was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters--and the deep
and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the "House
of Usher."

Note how the
supernatural end of the mansion is stressed through the comparison of the sound it makes
in its final moments to the "voice of a thousand waters." Hopefully this example will
help you go back and spot and analyse other examples of figurative language in this
excellent short story. What, for example, is suggested by the windows of the house being
described as "eye-like" as the narrator first looks upon the House of
Usher?
