The Fall of the House of Usher 1.08 | The Raven (2023)
the show: is literally called the fall of the house of usher
me when lenore dies:
I also like how House of Usher quietly calls out Madelines delusions of AI immortality. How Roderick is also fully suckered into this, saying that Madeline was close to cracking it despite at least one other instance (the heart mesh that needed more tests, more modifications, before it could possibly be ready) showing that his estimates are more wishful thinking than anything.
... But her final product, the Lenore bot, built upon thousands of questions Lenote answered, only offers a single word upon activation: "Nevermore." Lenore is dead, the bot will never recapture the spark that fueled her.
You're Lenore Usher and you just find out your entire family is sued for mass murder(?) and your grandpa offers 50 million to whoever catches the mole in the family, who his sister promises to murder. then your 27 years old uncle dies under an acid shower during an orgy which your mom willingly attended. but then your aunt gets her face ripped off by a chimpanzee and your other uncle jumps off his balcony because of a cat. your barely-older-than-you step-grandma tells you about giving a blowjob to your grandpa. your lesbian aunt and her partner go out in a murder-suicide. your last aunt tries to kill your step-grandma and dies by shattered mirror ceiling. but your mom is home, your dad is acting insane, your grandpa is speaking in poetry, and his sister is looking for the woman she kissed once like 40 years ago. but now you find out your dad mutilated your melted mom and then died drugged, with his dick out, and cut in half. and you think well this can't get any worse! but then carla gugino is in your bed and you fucking die. but it's okay because at least you didn't have to see your grandpa get killed by his sister who he poisoned and changed her eyes for sapphires but she came back to life and then a house fell on top of them.
Lenore Usher speaking to any member of her family
I don't see anyone talking about how devastating Morrie's story is and that's a damn shame. Imagine being one of the few survivors of this horrific event that you weren't even sure about being at in the first place, being nearly burned to death, and feeling that terrible pain as you recover for such a long time. Then after all of that you are isolated from the people who actually want to help you, slowly poisoned by your husband who is dead set on torturing you for cheating that you technically never even did and who insists that this is all out of love and that you deserve this. Imagine the fear that you would feel if, during all of this, you're also worrying about your baby girl as she's manipulated by said husband is coked out of his mind and drunk on control. Imagine your daughter finds you, poisoned, traumatized, and missing teeth and she has to be the steady one in this situation because you can't but she's just a little girl. She's just a kid really and she has to do all of the heavy lifting even though she's traumatized because not one person in control has her best interests at heart. Imagine being in a good facility and hearing that your husband is dead and you are so fucking relieved because you're safe. You and your baby are finally fucking safe. You can be together again. And then after that. After all of that, your daughter dies alone in her sleep. Morelle Usher is one of the strongest people in this entire series because I just don't think I could go on after that.
I feel like Hill House and House of Usher are teaching the same moral using opposite techniques.
