She is thin, weak, and covered in blood; probably due to her struggle of breaking out of the casket. Because of her appearance and the fact that she has been stuck in the casket for a very long time now, she could be on the verge of death, which could be considered macabre. Her appearance appeared to be a reanimated corpse, which is very bizarre. ]]> 2022-11-02 18:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jcgrimes100/wwf1n3quxj4ji51s/wish/2367175810 Theme: finds beauty in exotic (Gothic lit. had wild, haunted landscapes) aajones100 https://padlet.com/jcgrimes100/wwf1n3quxj4ji51s/wish/2367197878 Explanation: Here, the narrator is detailing the every little parts of the scenery.
