This image is very interesting to the eye. It really gives the reader a summary of the story without actually giving away any of the details. The mansion is shown, reflected in a mirror image beneath it. The mansion is very spooky looking on its own however the black mass in the background exemplify this spookiness. Moreover the depiction of the mansion almost looks like it has eyes and a mouth, thus personifying the mansion as Poe does within the short story itself. This image consequently portrays important aspects of the story such as the idea of the doppleganger as well as the idea that the house is in and of itself an important character to the story.
