Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher follows a reprehensible family, but one change from the source material avoided making the family even worse.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher follows a reprehensible family laced with greed and corruption, but it made one change from the source material to avoid making the family even worse.
The miniseries has been widely praised by critics, who have lauded Flanagan’s ability to translate Poe’s spooky stories into a visual medium . The Usher family gives Succession’s Roy dynasty a run for their money on the amorality scale. Over the course of eight episodes, the Ushers reveal themselves to be truly horrible people. But Flanagan changed a key detail from the source material that would’ve made the family even worse.
Edgar Allan Poe's Original Story Revealed The Usher Family Tree Was Incestuous In Poe’s original short story of the same name, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” it’s revealed that the entire Usher family tree before Fortunato Pharmaceuticals CEO Roderick Usher and his twin sister, similarly ruthless COO Madeline, was based on incest. Not only do the Ushers have a long history of incest; Poe implies that it still continues with Roderick and Madeline’s incestuous relationship.
While the story never explicitly depicts any incestuous acts between Roderick and Madeline, some scholars have interpreted the language that Roderick uses to describe his sister as a hint that the two are involved in an incestuous relationship. Some scholars have gone even further to state that their incestuous relationship is the real cause of the fall of the house of Usher, as well as the definitive end of the family’s lineage.
Mike Flanagan Dropping Roderick & Madeline's Incestuous History Was The Right Choice Ultimately, Flanagan made the right call by dropping the incest storyline from The Fall of the House of Usher. There’s still something odd about Roderick and Madeline’s connection, but it’s better that the show gives him external sources of love and loss to show his moral corrosion.
