It is surprising how many of Lovecraft's signature themes are already fully evident in this, his first horror story. The nature of madness and reality, an inherited curse, seeking after forbidden knowledge, and a fated demise are all here. The narrator is very reminiscent of Hildred Castaigne from Robert Chambers' "The Repairer of Reputations" (in [b:The King in Yellow and Other Horror Stories|129798|The King in Yellow and Other Horror Stories|Robert W. Chambers|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1416873291s/129798.jpg|954927]), as well as many of Poe's madmen. However, Lovecraft adds an element; there is the strong suggestion that Jervas' madness springs from a true apprehension: that of his actual lineage and ultimate place, shall we say, in the scheme of things.
