Presentation transcript:

Ghosts, dreams, mysterious storms, bumps in the night, and other unexplainable supernatural events populate gothic literature.

 When you hear the term “gothic” what comes to your mind? › What other words do you associate with these words? › What colors? › What type of images come to mind?  If it helps you, make a bubble chart with this word in the middle and list all that comes to mind around it.  Your response should be at least a paragraph!

 I am going to show you a series of images. I want you to write down the first thing that comes to your mind when you see the picture appear on the screen. Then I want you to answer the following questions:  1. What words come to mind?  2. What colors stand out to you?  3. What is the scene depicting?

 Plot driven by violence  Being lost in the dark or evil, unfamiliar places  Characters are completely isolated

 Search for identity  Social alienation  Search for truth  Dark side of human nature › Ex. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

 Dark woods  Castles (sometimes abandoned)  Any type of abandoned landscape or building  Caves  Extreme weather conditions  Exotic places

 Interest in the bizarre & supernatural.  Love of nature.  Looks at the world with optimism.  Faith in inner experience & power of imagination.  Strong belief in the individual.

 1. Setting in a castle.  2. An atmosphere of mystery and suspense.  3. An ancient prophecy.  4. Omens & visions.  5. Supernatural happenings. (things that cannot be explained)  6. Women in distress.  7. Feeling of gloom or horror.  8. Focus on bizarre situations and violent events.

 The romantic hero valued emotion rather than rational thought.  Often lives excluded from society.  He/She is usually youthful and innocent.

 Emphasizes the supernatural, gloomy, and morbid.  Acknowledged the evil of man and the horror of evil.  Focus on bizarre situations and violent events.  Emphasis on emotion, nature, and the individual.  Explored character’s motivations.  Imagination over Reason!
