Read the passage.

… It was the manner in which all this, and much more, was said—it was the apparent heart that went with his request—which allowed me no room for hesitation; and I accordingly obeyed forthwith what I still considered a very singular summons.

In this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” what does this response to Usher’s letter reveal about the narrator’s character?

It shows that the narrator is just an observer of the events that occurred in the house. He was trying to be helpful, but the house seemed to take him, scaring him to death.
