Whether you're an Edgar Allan Poe purist or not, The Fall of the House of Usher weaves in endless references to the writer's body of work.
Whether you're an Edgar Allan Poe purist or simply have an appreciation for good storytelling, The Fall of the House of Usher weaves in endless references to the infamous poet and his works into a cohesive narrative, making it a thrilling ride for anyone. One of the major ways the show achieves this is through each character's name, which ties thematically and narratively to the poem or short story they're inspired by.
Annabel Lee Annabel Lee was Roderick's former wife and one true love with whom he shared two children, Frederick and Tamerlane. In the show, Annabel is a symbol of purity and morality, often pushing Roderick to do the right thing to no avail. Eventually, she loses her children to him in a divorce and passes away herself. Her character is derived from Poe's poem "Annabel Lee," where a narrator endearingly describes his lover who was separated from him and claimed by death.
Prospero "Perry" Usher Prospero Usher is one of Roderick's many bastards and his name is directly taken from The Masque of the Red Death. In the short story, there is a plague, the Red Death, that kills nearly instantaneously and is now running amok in the lands, and Prince Prospero decides to close his gates and hold an extravagant masquerade ball.
Napoleon "Leo" Usher As the third Usher bastard, Napoleon Usher owns a successful gaming industry and is essentially considered the family's drug dealer. During the final days of his life, he is tormented by a spectral black cat, leading him to rip up his own apartment in hope of capturing it to no avail.
