In The Fall of the House of Usher, Verna recites Poe's The City in the Sea poem to warn Madeline, making it hard not to wonder what the poem means.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Verna recites Edgar Allan Poe's The City in the Sea poem to Madeline in The Fall of the House of Usher — its significance in the show's overarching story is deeper than it seems. In its eight-episode runtime, Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher features several references to Edgar Allan Poe's poems and stories.
For instance, to nail down the ideas surrounding death, guilt, and grief in Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher makes a whole metaphorical character out of the titular Raven. Another intriguing reference in the Mike Flanagan Netflix show emerges when Madeline visits her childhood home and meets Verna after decades since their first encounter on the 1979 New Year's Eve.
In The Fall of the House of Usher's iteration of the poem, Verna also emphasizes the exotic architecture of the city, including "Babylon-like walls" and "kingly halls," which hints at the sins committed by the wealthy. By doing so, she directly points at the Ushers, stressing how their mindless pursuit of acquiring wealth has gradually darkened their souls.
How Verna's "The City In The Sea" Warning Foreshadows The Usher Empire's Doom The final stanzas of the poem describe how the town descends deeper and deeper into the ground as "hell" rises "from a thousand suns." In Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher, the Usher family's empire also gradually collapses because of their sins and acts of morality, leaving nothing but death behind.
