We have just finished reading Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and I need to explain, in a paragraph what "Roderick is all mind in a weak body" means. I think it's somehere along the lines of his spirit being alive but his exterior being dead. I'm really bad at interpreting things but this is the best i could think of. Is my interpretation correct?

Please i need an answer :(
Yes, that is part of it. Weak body refers to Roderick cannot escape his fate of his surroundings, he is trapped as in a coffin, unable to escape. His mind is willing, but his body is not.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
