The plot of Gothic novels usually involves hidden secrets which threaten the protagonist. Furthermore, emotions of Gothic literature run very high. This is because characters are often passionate and strong-willed, defying others or even their own common sense in pursuit of their goals. Women are typically more curious and have more of a tendency to swoon, whilst men would storm and rage in reflection of unseen inner torments. The events of Gothic literature emphasize high emotion and often reflect a heightened sense of drama. Examples include murders, kidnappings, people going mad and tragic illnesses. ]]> 2020-09-10 21:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/15falnavi/2bh9hsla295lyvnz/wish/737075316 15falnavi https://padlet.com/15falnavi/2bh9hsla295lyvnz/wish/737113556 Gothic Novels are characterised by an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The mood is pervaded by a threatening feeling, a fear enhanced by the unknown. Characters catch only a glimpse of something. Usually, a typical Gothic story would be set in and around a castle, graveyard, cave, convent, monastery, church, cathedral, chapel or dungeon. The locations are mainly in remote, uninhabited places such as mountain ranges, wild forests, or cliff tops. There are many key conventions of setting up and developing a Gothic atmosphere. Architectural features such as towers, trapdoors, mysterious corridors, rusty hinges, tunnels, and lightless niches all serve to entrap their helpless victims.]]> 2020-09-10 22:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/15falnavi/2bh9hsla295lyvnz/wish/737113556 15falnavi https://padlet.com/15falnavi/2bh9hsla295lyvnz/wish/1055011741 - Nature/Inanimate objects becoming conscious
