Explain the poem "the haunted" house stanza wise.
Answers
Answer:
The poem “The Haunted Palace” is a ballad — a poem or song that tells a story, often one of tragedy. The haunted palace in the ballad symbolizes the same thing that the house of Usher does: an ancestral home and name fallen into mental and physical decline. Even the way Poe introduces the poem suggests this. Usher sings the poem to his friend Victor, introducing it as a half-remembered, ancient melody about the state of his house.
The first four stanzas describe a beautiful, stately palace in a fair valley, ruled “in the monarch Thought’s dominion” (l. 5) by a fair and wise ruler. Furthermore,
Wanderers in that happy valley,
Through two luminous windows, saw
Spirits moving musically
To a lute’s well-tunéd law (ll. 17-20).
The palace is a symbol for the mind; the “two luminous windows” are the ruler’s eyes. The “spirits” are the ruler’s qualities, skills and thoughts; they move gracefully in time and in tune to regular, harmonic music. Everything is in harmony; the ruler is sane and wise; thought and reason rule in his mind.
