Madeline Usher in Boston
The movie continually refers to Madeline Usher and Philip Winthrop meeting when she spent time in Boston, how she was full of life, how they were engaged, and then she left. What is never addressed, however, is why her brother would ever allow her to go to Boston in the first place if they were so cursed? And, if she had escaped his clutches, why return? This missing info really bothered me while I was watching the movie. Is there further explanation in Poe's original?
