Question

What is the "House" that the speaker reaches at the end of the journey?

• A. Her childhood home
• B. Her grave
• C. A mansion in the afterlife
• D. A church

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Her grave

• The House is described as "a Swelling of the Ground," suggesting a burial site rather than a traditional home.

• The "roof was scarcely visible" and the "cornice – in the Ground," reinforcing the idea that it is a tombstone or burial mound.

• This symbolizes the final resting place of the speaker after her journey with Death.
