The Fall of the House of Usher

does the story have any relation to the author's personal life?

What is his reason?

I do not believe he was referencing his own life. However, I see where one could think that. His family did fall apart. Poe really doesn't do much as far as autobiographical works. The Raven and Annabel Lee are the closest to his real life, as he did lose his love.
