Poe’s clear juxtaposition of the degenerate…

What does not destroy us makes us stronger. In ways we could become stronger, but not experiencing what happens in life can make us weak. The Black Plague is one prime example of this.

are harmless enough like eating and dancing while others are darker and more sordid in nature, like the sexual abuse that Madeinusa suffers at her father’s hands. Incest is not only presented as one more of those excesses or as a signifier for the barbaric character of a society left to its own devices.
