I have to write a literary analysis on Edgar Allan Poe The Fall of The House of Usher.

I need a thesis statement, but I can not think of one.
Please help!

The setting is an extremely important aspect of this story. So, if you want to write a paper about the setting, here is an idea for a thesis:

In The Fall of the House of Usher, Edgar Allan Poe utilizes the setting as a major factor in telling the story, including its use in character development, establishing an atmosphere and foreshadowing.

Hi, AJQ2008!

I like the answer above! But, what type of thesis is it that you're supposed to write and what were the specifics instructions given to you by your instructor, please?

Thanks!
