The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. . . . Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. â€""The Fall of the House of Usher," Edgar Allan Poe What single effect does the setting and mood of this passage create? It creates an effect of fear and darkness because of the look and color of the room. It creates an effect of comfort and loftiness because of the expensive antique furniture. It creates an effect of anxiety toward the unusual people who remodeled the house. It creates an effect of vast openness because of the small furniture in a large space.
