How does poe use the house as a character

The choice of language and symbolism used in the story is carefully crafted to contribute to the effect Poe wanted to convey.

Features are portrayed in great detail, with repeated adjectives adding layer upon layer of age and deterioration to the picture. The setting in which the house is found extends the atmosphere of gloom and death and apprehension.
