All through the night the characters hear scratches coming from the door to the basement all of a sudden 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” (Page number). She comes out of the room and kills her brother as the house falls in on itself.

“There Will Come Soft Rains” has a sad and eerie tone to it. The house demonstrates eerie by repeating the date like so-"Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is…".
