Gothic Literature
Atmosphere:                              Gloomy and dark
Setting:                                         Isolated, ruined gothic buildings
Paranormal:                                Monsters and ghosts
Melodrama:                                Emotional outbursts
Omens (foreshadowing):     How more important than what
Damsel in distress:                 Female victim



Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Melodrama: Also called “high emotion,” melodrama is created through highly sentimental language and instances of overwrought emotion. The panic, terror, and other feelings characters experience is often expressed in a way that's overblown and exaggerated in order to make them seem out of control and at the mercy of the increasingly malevolent influences that surround them.
Omens: Typical of the genre, omens—or portents and visions—often foreshadow events to come. They can take many forms, such as dreams, spiritual visitations, or tarot card readings.
Virgin in distress: With the exception of a few novels, such as Sheridan Le Fanu’s "Carmilla" (1872), most Gothic villains are powerful males who prey on young, virginal women (think Dracula). This dynamic creates tension and appeals deeply to the reader's sense of pathos, particularly as these heroines typically tend to be orphaned, abandoned, or somehow severed from the world, without guardianship.
The sublime

Slide 19 - Tekstslide

the sublime
In Romantic art, nature—with its uncontrollable power, unpredictability, and potential for cataclysmic extremes—offered an alternative to the ordered world of Enlightenment thought. (...) violent and terrifying images of nature (...) As articulated by the British statesman Edmund Burke in1757 
 “all that stuns the soul, all that imprints a feeling of terror, leads to the sublime.”
