In Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher, Tamerlane's death is so disturbing due to her descent into madness from sleep deprivation.
The Big Picture When it comes to blood and guts in The Fall of the House of Usher, the death of Tamerlane Usher falls right in the middle of the scale. The honor of the gnarliest death goes to either Perry's acid shower, Camille's bloody chimpanzee attack, or Frederick's bisection. Tamerlane's is still a painful-looking death, with shattering mirrors around her home and shards impaling her entire body.
The beauty doesn't lessen how frightening Tamerlane's descent is because what truly pushes her down this spiral toward the grave is a distress that a lot of people can relate to: Insomnia. It's established over several episodes that since, and maybe even before the Usher family goes on trial, and the string of mysterious deaths, Tamerlane has been forgoing sleep entirely.
'The Fall of the House of Usher' Sees Tamerlane Go Through the Symptoms of Insomnia Losing your temper — this is something that all of us have experienced at some point in our lives. You had a rough night and the next morning you get out the wrong side of the bed. You're sluggish, irritable, can't pay attention to people, and you're grumpier than usual.
Mike Flanagan Makes Sleep Deprivation Terrifying Tamerlane pushes herself further into the depths of sleep deprivation. She gets to the point where even popping numerous prescription sleeping tablets is completely futile. Something displayed very well in this episode is micro-sleeping. People may know this as the reason we're urged to pull over and rest rather than drive while fatigued. Briefly nodding off, sometimes while looking fully awake, just for a matter of minutes or seconds.
Tamerlane’s Death Isn’t as Scary as Her Descent Into Madness What makes Tamerlane's fate the most terrifying out of the lot is that it could happen to any of us, given the appropriate circumstances. Few of us will die the same way many of the Ushers did, few of us will get our face ripped off by a chimpanzee or melted by acid. A lot of us will experience sleep deprivation to some degree, and many of us will go through what Tamerlane went through, at least in the psychological sense.
