Conan Doyle presents the concept of the supernatural to the reader with the usage of fog and mist evidenced by the following phrase "fog-wreaths came crawling round both corners of the house". The use of pathetic fallacy may create an atmosphere of mystery throughout the text. This could suggest to the reader that there is a constant presence of obscurity lurking from every 'corner'. The verb "crawling" further suggests that the pathetic fallacy grew gradually - as if it were sneaking 'round both corners of the house' further suggesting the theme of the supernatural to be constantly present within the extract. In addition, this is used further in the text, "dreadful shape which had sprung out... of the fog" which could further insinuate that incomprehensible events are hiding within plain sight. Such activity may be a reflection of their contemporary society of that time and how there was a mass phobia of the unknown and labelled said ideas as supernatural events.

The usage of the fog and mist is similar to the usage of snow in Emily Bronte's novel 'Wuthering Heights', where Bronte uses the harsh weather of snow to conceal the reveal of the supernatural figure.]]> 2018-03-20 03:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830143 Natasha https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830145 THOTB x Dracula

Conan Doyle reinforces the ways of using both pathetic fallacy and weather to set the scene and create a frantic setting, this is evident in the quote "broke the silence of the moor". In Dracula, when the vampire appears from the distance, there's a sudden change in everyone's mood, though they are unable to see them. The weather also changes because of this, as an unforeseen, mist starts to "crawl" in both extracts. The phrase "Broke the silence" advocates that not only was silence broken but the insanity of the people were too. As the weather started to change the mood of the people. The feeling of the unknown or going insane is prominent in both these extracts. The mist also prevents the supernatural from being seen by the people. In a way how religion was trying to conceal the people from science.
 
The writer for THOTB uses the noun 'mist' to open up and commence the supernatural. In addition, this can also be used as foreshadowing upcoming trepidation events. After a mist, usually anything unknown or inhumane appears out of the mist. This is portrayed in THOTB as the 'black dog'. A 'black dog' symbolises the devil as they are both beasts from the underworld. A dog was never a creation of nature but was more of an genetic modification of humans. Bringing back to the similar theme that is constantly presented in Gothic Horror 'Science vs Religion'. The adjective ' black' in other ways could be foreshadowed as danger ahead because like danger people are unable to physically see it. This is shown again in 'Dracula' when the Dracula appears out of the mist, levitating. Both of these characters could be perceived as being a 'beast'. Personifying this inanimate object links to the debate of human vs monster, which initiates ]]> 2018-03-20 03:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830179 Misha Nasution https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830181 THOTB vs Dracula

Conan Doyle creates a supernatural atmosphere through the use of personification within pathetic fallacy. Doyle describes how "...the fog-wreaths came crawling..." which highlights the mystery and, as a result, tension of the current atmosphere is portrayed. Additionally, the noun 'fog' creates imagery that greatly implies uncertainty due to the fact that it clouds the human vision thus creating an uneasy surrounding. It is possible that this personification used to characterise the weather could foreshadow the impending doom that is to come; from this, the reader may infer that the story is reaching its climax. Given the context, the reader may infer that the surrounding reflects the emotions of the protagonist; further justified is this with the verb 'crawling'. This personified verb is used to describe the flow of the fog which mirrors the movement of an animal; perhaps the author is subtly inclining towards the ideology of the animalistic behaviour of humans during the Victorian era. Similarly, in the novel 'Dracula', the author also describes "sea-mist" using personification. ]]> 2018-03-20 03:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830181 Marella https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830197 THOTB VS Dracula

In THOTB extract, Conan Doyle successfully creates an atmosphere of tension and suspense before revealing the supernatural hound. In the Dracula extract, Stoker creates a dark and gloomy atmosphere, ending with an unnaturally large dog fading into the darkness. 

Both authors draw inspiration from folklore, using the symbolism of the black dog to create a sinister atmosphere. 

In THOTB, Watson describes the hound as "hellish". According to myth, the black dog is a nocturnal apparition and is often associated with the devil as well as it being an omen of death. The word "hellish" relates to anything of or like hell which further strengthens the idea of the hound being malicious and of the supernatural. It also reinforces the theme of death and judgment, as the vast majority of Victorians were religious, and so would be aware of a final judgment, a "hellish" hound would immediately be associated with death, evil and darkness., In Dracula, an unnaturally large hound is shown bounding off, into the darkness. The hound could be used to foreshadow future events, for the dog is associated with death and the devil, both fitting themes for this story.

 In both extracts, the dog melts into the shadows, furthering the idea that the dog is of the unnatural sort.

The author presents the theme of mystery to readers in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. This is highlighted in her use of pathetic fallacy in the phrase '...the fog-wreaths came crawling round ...' which insinuates an unclear, misty night. The fog obscures objects and reduces visibility which creates a sense of mystery and therefore terror. The use of the word "wreath" also could imply a supernatural or divine presence, as it has connotations to Greek mythology, more specifically Greek gods/goddesses. In addition, fog and mist is often viewed as intangible and translucent, thus presenting a ghostly and surreal atmosphere, which is also confirmed with the verb "crawling round" which suggests that the fog is sentient or almost human, but barely so, as the verb is often used for infants, or it could also illustrate arms trapping the occupants of the home. This was particularly effective during the era that the text was written; the Victorians had a deeply inset fear of the supernatural as this time was the peak of science and with it, the debate about what made us human. However, modern-day readers may not be able to relate as today science is perceived more positively, unlike science in the Victorian era. Despite this, we are equally dependent on religion today which contributes to the fear instilled in the reader. 

Similarly, this is also seen in 'Wuthering Heights' where the author describes a typical gothic house. However, instead of fog and mist, the author of WH uses snow and while it provides the same effects to the reader, it can be seen as slightly more sinister as snow is more opaque and whiter. Snow also creates a more chilling ambience, which supports the semantic field of the insidious supernatural. Moreover, white is often referred to in the form of the phrase "bone-white" which brings a eerie image of skeletons to mind. Additionally, the verb used to describe the snow is "driving" which can be seen as more aggressive, but it is also shown to possess a human mind of its own, with its own destructive goals.

The writer presents the idea of a clear, fine night at the start of the extract to the readers. Greatly contrasting with the usual thunderstorms, wintry nights and misty harbours, this may entice the reader into pursuing further into the story. The writer highlights the 'fine' weather, complimenting on the 'silver-spangled sky' and ''bars of golden light' seen in the scene. These phrases quite subtly could imply that we are not far from the main action, like 'the quiet before a storm'. The colour adjectives such as 'golden' greatly shows a semantic field of wealth, good fortune, and a sort of happiness. In addition to the theme of light vs darkness, the writer continues to use adjs such as 'soft' and 'uncertain'. This suggests the theme of 'light vs darkness', and furthermore has connotations of fear, caution, and doubt. Harshly different than the usual lone source of light, the writer could create a sense of calm and comfort for the reader. This could reflect the 'calm before the storm' factor, as the writer has given themselves the opportunity to either slowly feed into the rising action, or 'jump-scare' the audience into the main climax. Overall, at this point in the extract, the weather could greatly reflect the writer/the main character's emotions - silent, brooding, mysterious. It then creates a sense of surrealism that draws in all types of readers.

However, as the extract goes on, the action starts to rise. The mentions of a 'dense white sea' unfolds, the writer may now be attempting to  implement a rising sense of fear into the reader. The writer then demonstrates the classic gothic setting, with a thick, dense mist covering the scene. Nevertheless, the readers may still feel at ease, as the fog and mist could act as a metaphor to cover up any chaos. This is truly contrasting with the classic gothic horror settings and extracts, which can be seen in NA, with a stormy weather and raging tempest, combined with the intense action of the extract. Austen truly intensifies the action of her extract, combined with her ]]> 2018-03-20 03:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830202 imani & min hui https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830245 The Hound of the Baskervilles VS. Wuthering Heights

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presents the theme of the supernatural using pathetic fallacy. Throughout the text, the author mentions a reoccurring theme of fog, which is portrayed when he mentions how "fog-wreaths came crawling round...". The use of pathetic fallacy could foreshadow the upcoming events of the protagonist. The phrase "fog-wreaths" depicts how the future is unclear considering how fog is difficult to see through. 

Similarly, in Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte also uses pathetic fallacy to set the scene. The setting is described as having "gusty wind", which helps link to the theme of gothic horror. This could imply the future of Lockwood, which is additionally evident in THOTB. The adjective "gusty" is often very fierce, and might forebode the struggles our protagonist might encounter. 

There are many similarities between the phrase wind and fog as they are both uses of pathetic fallacy and both foreshadows a mysterious future.]]> 2018-03-20 03:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830245 Emilie https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/243830317 The Hounds of the Baskervilles  VS Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Conan Doyle welcomes the theme of the supernatural with the use of pathetic fallacy. With the quote of "soft, uncertain light"; this enunciates how the writer personifies pathetic fallacy to demonstrate the setting of the text to make the atmosphere more lively and dismal. Through the noun of "light"- we can clearly explore the theme of light and darkness in those days. For a historic background, people were chained by the rules of society and etiquette to be presented as a proper person in those days. Whereas; sometimes as the verb of "uncertain" explains, we can't be ourselves- for we the Victorians were obsessed by their fear of mannerism and to maintain a good status to be able to be themselves. This is when the theme of light and darkness comes in;  is the person we are on the outside really who were are on the inside? Furthermore, this is why the "mad" people were sent to asylums to be reeducated on behaviour and mannerism- a breakdown was seen as an "animalistic" unusual behaviour.
Similarly, the book Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde purposely also broadcasts the identity of us as humans and how we must behave to fit in to be "normal" in the Victorian Times.

ĖVÀÆÂN's analysis:
Dracula and THOTB present similar situations but describe them differently. For example, Dracula uses an indoor perspective of a witness, while THOTB uses an outdoor, more lively description of events. 
Dracula uses a detached narrative, as in the subject (s) of the text are not focused on or individualised. This is seen with the majority of sentences in 
'Dracula' not starting with the subject of the sentence but rather with a conjunctive adverb or preposition. Stoker supports this perspective when he uses alternative descriptions of motion such as, 'Making straight for the steep cliff,' or 'Between her and the port lay the great flat reef on which so many good ships have from time to time suffered...' 

In contrast, THOTB is a narrative in the first person in which personalities are let to fester and develop and personal descriptions are abundant. This is shown when Conan Doyle writes, 'He dropped on his knees..."Thank G'd, I think that I hear him coming." The fact that Sherlock 'dropped to his knees' could imply a semantic field of fear-induced worship or subjugation. Moreover, it could be argued from the rest of the text that Sherlock is becoming increasingly mentally disturbed because of the cases that he solves/involves himself in and the fact that an intellectual such as Sherlock, a man of science and pure logic, is worshiping G'd could suggest one of two things: either that the fear of G'd in the victorian era was so high that even the most logic-devoted men believed in G'd or that, in this particular, intense moment, a hint at Sherlock's inner character is shown- that loss is not something he's used and that when he is put in a situation such as this, he looks to things that he could have previously seen as nonsensical, such as the ethereal. This sort of in-depth character description is absent in Stoker's 'Dracula', with the emphasis being on the environment. This is a technique in horror which allows for the reader to imagine themselves in this situation more clearly, seeing as the people experiencing the story within the narrative are almost faceless. This could create a more frightening novel or the contrary. A reader could feel less scared because the people experiencing the supposedly terrifying sequence of events don't look or act as people. 










ARon's analysis:

Both extracts also use pathetic fallacy and the idea of slowly
encroaching weather to set the scene. Dracula does this by having a
storm slowly coming in and building up as it gets stronger and
stronger. THOTB uses the mist/fog. Both extracts make use of the
weather in different ways. This quote in Dracula “the whole sky
overhead seemed trembling” helps set the scene and set the tone for
the story. It’s also potentially a way to parallel the character’s
emotions and potential fears. THOTB uses the incoming fog as a time
limit and a potential clock to impending death I think this can be
proven within the extract “was drifting closer and closer to the
house.”

Conan Doyle presents the theme of suspense in “The Hound of the Baskervilles' novel. The author highlights this theme in his use of foreshadowing to predict future events in the novel. This is apparent in the adjectival phrase "sound of quick steps broke the silence". This phrase subtly implies that something is approaching as the adjectival phrase “quick steps” insinuates that something is coming. 

Similarly, the phrase "sound of quick steps broke the silence" is also much like the phrase: "discord in the great harmony of nature's silence," which is evident in Dracula. This phrase also subtly implies that danger is coming as it insinuates that there is something ignoble that is disrupting the peace. The nouns “discord” and  “harmony” which is also a sort of oxymoron could also insinuate that there is an evil that is disrupting the “harmony” and it could reflect on how during that era, many Victorians were afraid of change. Furthermore, later on in the text, there is the quote “Then without warning the tempest broke”

Conan Doyle presents the theme of the supernatural and good vs evil to the readers.Throughout the text, the author creates a tense atmosphere by the recurring usage of fog and mist.
This was especially highlighted in the second paragraph, in the phrase "the orchard was already invisible" and "trees were standing out in... white vapour". The noun "invisible" has connotations to the supernatural and ghosts as spirits are typically depicted as being translucent and wispy, similar to the mist. It could also be argued that the mist reflected the character's uncertainties and conflicting emotions.This contrasts to Wuthering Heights as Emily Brontë also uses pathetic fallacy to link to gothic horror themes. The setting is described as having 'gusty winds ' on a snowy night. The adjective "gusty" is vicious, and this may highlight the events in which the protagonist may encounter later on the the text.]]> 2018-04-09 00:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/249605880 Aira & Natasha https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/gz6ylk08p4xw/wish/249605957 THOTB vs. DRACULA

Conan Doyle uses 'mist' as a literary feature to present an imminent danger to readers. The author highlights this in his use of pathetic fallacy: 'Every minute that plain... was drifting closer.. to the house.' The phrase 'drifting closer to the house' subtly implies of a foreshadowing and oncoming threat which could arguably endanger the lives of the characters. The use of the noun 'plain' as a representation of mist could additionally represent the unknown because 'mist' has connotations of concealing the supernatural. This could reflect how in the Victorian society, as science and experiments broke the strict beliefs of religion; the unknown, just like 'mist' in this extract, invoked fear and doubt in people's hearts of what was to be discovered. Furthermore, the common theme of science vs. religion is also evident in other Gothic Horror extracts such as Dracula, where the mysterious 'schooner' or vessel approaching the island reinforces the arriving speculation that theories from science challenged religion with: '... between the piers, ... swept the strange schooner.' The adjective 'strange' further connotes the unknown reflected during the Victorian period. Additionally, the adjective also has connotations of abnormality and the irregular, which Bram Stoker uses to hint at the presence of ethereal beings.
