Some of these Ushers are simply irredeemable… Unbridled ambition: bad.
Others…well, theyre just terrible all around.
So, here are our favorite and least favorite characters fromThe Fall of the House of Usher.

Verna, pick up the phone!
Rather, the exact opposite.
She is so scrumptiously scheming and superior that we cant help but love her.
She is a woman who takes her rightful place in this world.
You want to see real balls.
She so nonchalantly suggests death when a traitor may be among the Ushers.
She is also unabashed when it comes to trampling over others on her way to glory.
They are not the bad guys for creating an addictive substance and marketing it as harmless.
Rather, a feeble-minded society, a broken structure already in place is to blame.
Least Favorite: Victorine LaFourcade (TNia Miller)
We draw the line at animal torture.
You cant ignore the irony here a heartless woman working on a heart-saving rig.
Victorine is a killer with no qualms when it comes to torture or illicit activity.
Its all about achievement at the cost of her humanity.
