“…In this respect, the metatextual universes described in Leroux's novel and Amenábar's film, and their intrinsic relationship with characters like Erik and César, bear resemblance with contemporary interpretations of Poe's tale "The Fall of the House of Usher" (1839). By means of approaching the House of Usher in its symbolic dimension, Scott Peeples (2002) interprets the fictional house as Poe's creative universe, thus depicting it as a house of mirrors in which words conjure the illusion of depth.

“…(WILBUR, 2003, p. 79) 7 Seguindo tal orientação, bem como novas tendências em estudos narratológicos, as últimas três décadas testemunharam um renovado interesse pelos aspectos formais da obra de Poe. Embora ainda nadem contra a forte correnteza dos estudos de temas e símbolos e da orientação psicológica, trabalhos como os de Benfey (1993), Peeples (2002) e Zimmerman (2005 têm demonstrado não apenas a validade dos argumentos de Wilbur, mas também a plausibilidade das teses de Piglia. Evidentemente, estudos formais devem, em nome da coerência, deter-se nos textos em análise; entretanto, quando tais textos são fruto de concepções estéticas e convenções genéricas pormenorizados pelo próprio autor em ensaios e resenhas crí-ticas, a expansão do corpus é altamente benéfi ca.…”
