Elements of Gothic Fiction

1- Settings that often include large, drafty old houses that have "been in the family for years"

2- An atmosphere of mystery and suspense that is enhanced by a plot containing secrets

3- A ghostly legend, an unexplainable occurrence, or a story about a horrible death or murder

4- Omens, foreshadowing, and dreams (bad dreams about something bad that is going to happen) play a role in the mysterious air of the. story,

5- Highly charged emotional states like: terror, the brink of insanity, anger, impending doom, and obsessive love

6- Supernatural events: ghosts, unexplained sounds, etc.

7- Damsels in distress are frequent (sometimes to be rescued; sometimes not to be rescued)

8- Words designed to evoke images of gloom and doom. (The good gothic writer can make you) picture the scary scene he is trying to create in your mind.)

9- The death of a man or woman in the throes of some great passion, the obsessive nature of a man or woman in love, or excessive grief one feels upon the loss of a loved one

 

 

1 - The children were to be driven, as a special treat, to the sands at Jagborough. Nicholas was not to be of the party; he was in disgrace. Only that morning he had refused to eat his wholesome bread-and-milk on the seemingly frivolous ground that there was a frog in it. Older and wiser and better people had told him that there could not possibly be a frog in his bread-and-milk and that he was not to talk nonsense; he continued, nevertheless, to talk what seemed the veriest nonsense, and described with much detail the coloration and markings of the alleged frog.

 

2 - The dramatic part of the incident was that there really was a frog in Nicholas's basin of bread-and-milk; he had put it there himself, so he felt entitled to know something about it. The sin of taking a frog from the garden and putting it into a bowl of wholesome bread-and-milk was enlarged on at great length, but the fact that stood out clearest in the whole affair, as it presented itself to the mind of Nicholas, was that the older, wiser, and better people had been proved to be profoundly in error in matters about which they had expressed the utmost assurance.

 

Whose perspective is being presented in the following passage?

36 - As for Nicholas, he, too, was silent, in the absorption of one who has much to think about; it was just possible, he considered, that the huntsman would escape with his hounds while the wolves feasted on the stricken stag.

A. Nicholas

B. The Aunt's

C. The cousins'
