The fact that homosexualy was viewed as a mental disorr durg the time settg of the story, as well as when Poe was wrg, along wh the piec of evince create a clear nnectn between the homosexualy and The Fall of the Hoe of Usher.
However, is not only the behavr they engage , but the books they read that clu rear to the homosexual relatnship between Rorick Usher and Narrator. It is not only his sire of men, but his distert women that ht to Rorick Usher's homosexualy.
In addn to the timate relatnship between Rorick and Narrator and their tert homoerotic lerature, the removal of the only feme character The Fall of the Hoe of Usher, Male Usher, suggts a male homosexual relatnship between the two ma characters. Obvly, there is a strong reasong for the two men to bury a women alive and the sany of homosexualy is clearly the answer.
