It took place in a more dark and scary place with a lot more gothic vocabulary. For example in Dracula he says " I am closing the tomb so that the Un-drad may not enter." This one sentence showed me more gothic element than what I read in Frankenstein. - Logan]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152314 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152317 2017-05-05 12:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152317 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152360 Dracula is more gothic due to the frequency of suspense and supernatural events in Dracula. The suspense never lets up in Dracula (based on the video we watched yesterday) while in Frankenstein, there are parts of the book that "lull you to sleep". ]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152360 hannsto https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152379 Dracula is more of a gothic novel than Frankenstein because it exemplifies more gothic elements within one chapter than Frankenstein. Supernatural events continue to occur frequently in Dracula while in Shelley's novel the only thing that is truly unnatural is the creature it's self.  To show this in Dracula they were talking about an unnatural event " Two nights ago my friend Seward and I came here, with good purpose, believe me. I opened that coffin, which was sealed up, and we found it as now empty... The next day we came in the daytime and she lay there".

Dracula uses more Gothic Vocabulary then Frankenstein using words like  "contortions" and "quivered". Dracula (or the chapter we read, chapter 16) takes place at an abandoned church at midnight giving it a gothic scene and eery effect. Frankenstein does not have mysteries like Dracula does. Lucy's body goes missing from her casket and that is unexplanatory. Also, there are visions in Dracula. "We waited , and saw something white come through the trees." Overall, Dracula is more scary and shares more gothic elements than Frankenstein.]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152390 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152427 it is more detailed with all of the gothic elements and has better examples than frankenstein. such as in Dracula the setting is in a castle and Frankenstein is in an apartment. this shows that Dracula carries more gothic elements than Frankenstein.Although both novels share many elements making them similar but Dracula has more detailed elements and more generic examples than Frankenstein.-daniel]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152427 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152457 Dracula is a better representation of a gothic novel because of the text. Many gothic writing techniques are used, especially when it comes to gothic description keywords and the woman in distress situation. "The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds..." and "never did the tree or grass wave or rustle so ominously.." are both good examples of gothic vocabulary usage. Both quotes are intended to draw in the dark, mysterious mood that is the base of gothic literature.]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152457 schostet https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152502 Dracula is more of a gothic novel due to the word choice, detail and the elements that made up the one chapter. The descriptions of the gothic events that take place are more realistic and draw the readers attention. For example, "And then the writhing and quivering of the body became less, and the teeth seemed to champ, and the face to quiver. Finally it lay still. The terrible task was over." helps me to visualize what is taking place and understand the situation.]]> 2017-05-05 12:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152502 joseger https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152514 Dracula would be more of a gothic than frankenstein considering in just one chapter had a good portion of the things that make a novel gothic. "I am closing the tomb so that the undead may not enter." Again this is just the gothic elements at work.

It contains all of the tropes seen in gothic literature, and the entire latter half of the book is suspense. Although there are no castles of the sort, the eerie lab Victor works in along with the small cottage he coops himself in are desolate and creepy enough to count. The tyrannical male would be the creature himself, although he isn't actively controlling he does violently kill and (unintentionally) scare women. Safie's father is also a trope example, as he did not want her to marry a Christian and in result jailed her.
Gothic literature prides itself on being dramatic with emotions with heartfelt speeches - such as the creature's final speech. He says that "I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of torturing flames..." which is an over exaggerated and dark speech in itself, using many descriptive words prevalent in gothic literature. Another point is the endings - while Dracula had a happy ending with minimal deaths and the protagonist and his wife surviving, in Frankenstein Victor and everyone he loves is dead, and Walton couldn't even fully complete his expedition, which is truly tragic.]]> 2017-05-05 12:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152601 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152602 Matt Forbes

All of this shows one of the major gothic elements that was not really hit on in Frankenstein. ]]> 2017-05-05 12:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152652 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152670 From the suspenseful atmosphere to supernatural events, Dracula seemed to be a true gothic novel. Although Frankenstein had gothic elements throughout the novel, Dracula was able to cover the ten elements within a few pages. A quote that is used to cover multiple elements is found in Dracula, “He took his screwdriver and took off the lid of the coffin,” (Stoker). Suspense, a woman in distress, supernatural events and a powerful male can be inferred because of the context surrounding the quote. I also think that Dracula put fear into society’s mind of foreigners and other dreadful topics; horror spread with the publishing of this novel. Frankenstein has a lighter mood than the heavy anxiety of Dracula. In the end, the novel Dracula, is able to deliver stronger and more frequent occurrences of gothic elements.]]> 2017-05-05 12:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152670 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152671 I think that Dracula is more Gothic because I feel as though I read more gothic elements in the text of Dracula rather than in Frankenstein.  For example, in the first two sentences that we read it was gothic elements; "It was just a quarter before twelve o'clock when we got into the churchyard over the low wall. The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds that scudded across the sky." ]]> 2017-05-05 12:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152671 michjon https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152704 Dracula is more of a Gothic horror than Frankenstein. Though both had moments of suspense and overwrought emotions. Dracula had the castle setting and the atmosphere of mystery and suspense. An example of this atmosphere of suspense and mystery is "The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds that scudded across the sky. We all kept somehow close together, with Van Helsing slightly in front as he led the way... He was still silent. Van Helsing forced back the leaden flange, and we all looked in and recoiled." There is also the powerful, impulsive, tyrannical man that is Dracula who threatens the women in the book. Frankenstein did have, in terms of gothic horror elements, was some suspenseful moments, overwrought emotions like when Victor abandoned his creation because of how terrifying it was. There was the feeling of gloom and darkness but Dracula had that but even stronger. ]]> 2017-05-05 12:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152704 rarook https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170152719 Dracula is able to tackle every gothic element in just one chapter.

“It was just a quarter before twelve o’clock when we got into the churchyard over the low wall. The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds that scudded across the sky.”

Frankenstein has a theme of revenge and sadness whereas Dracula touches more on the idea of horror and suspense. Although they both include gothic tropes such as harrowing weather and monsters, Dracula also includes elements like cruelty, scary word choice, more suspense, prophecies, damsels and coffins. Stoker writes, “And then the writhing and quivering of the body became less, and the teeth seemed to champ, and the face to quiver. Finally it lay still. The terrible task was over.” This quotes uses words like “writhing and quivering,” “teeth…champ,” and “quiver". Stokes also mentions the word "coffin" several times. This shows the scary word choice. The "terrible task" adds to the element of suspense. ]]> 2017-05-05 12:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170153070 https://padlet.com/sbeasley2/uiri5tleczc8/wish/170153109 Dracula is more gothic because it has more gothic elements than frankenstein. In Dracula they use a very strong detail in the setting like "The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds that scudded across the sky. " frankenstein was very short with the setting and to the point not adding very strong information.

Dracula has more gothic elements than Frankenstein does. Such as set in a castle, as well as it had women threatened by a powerful tyrannical male. Frankenstein had several gothic elements as well just was not as supernatural and mysterious as Dracula. " The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the dents of the heavy clouds that scudded across the sky." This sentence just seems very mysterious and full of suspense to me.
