Resumen

A través de este artículo se propone una lectura minuciosa del relato corto "The Fall of the House of Usher" de Edgar Allan Poe, con el objeto de exponerlo como una construcción completamente intencional. La intencionalidad aquí mencionada se centra en el marco estructural, en la narrativa: su diseño literario. Este análisis dirige la atención del lector específicamente al diseño, estructura y entorno del cuento con el propósito de revelar estructuras paralelas: una simetría entre la forma y el fondo; considerando, así mismo, la intrusión del autor en el texto, el problema que supone un lenguaje referencial, así como las transformaciones intencionadas resultantes de la apropiación textual
