1. The metaphor of the relationship between body and house is illustrated when Roderick sings “The Haunted Palace” The disintegration of the dwelling and the dweller are connected. The song points out that this palace once “reared its head” with celestial thoughts with windows like eyes through which one sees the proprietor with his “wit and wisdom” surrounded by the divine ghosts.. This represents Roderick's once happy state of mind. Things quickly change in the song when, “evil things in robes of sorrow” plague the proprietor with evil, madness, and demonic forms.
