Answer:

Reflect the same atmosphere and emotional darkness as the story conveys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's works "The Fall of The House of Usher" and "The Haunted Palace" are both gothic works that talks of the evil lurking behind the home that was once a beautiful place. These two works, one a short story and the other a poem shows how both places came under the influence of an evil spirit.

The short story contains verses from the poem which details the literal fall of the House of Usher. The verses of the poem were sung to the narrator Victor Reynolds by his friend, the heir of the house, Roderick Usher. This inclusion of his poem into the story gave the same atmosphere and emotional darkness that the story conveys. They both reflect the same feeling of horror and strangeness to the ones listening to it.
