The Gothic Novel

Among the extracts that we have studied this year,  I prefered « The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde » by Robert Louis Stevenson,  in: « Characters: from Evolution to Metamorphosis. »  I loved analyze the passages of this novel, because it’s easy to recognize the Gothic elements.  For instance : the stranges events,  the darkness and transgression moral codes like awe.  I found this extract very interesting, I would like watch the two movies  (the first who has made in 1931 and the second who dated from 1996).

  1. I also like to analyze the gothic elements in films: the sinisters places, the grotesque elements, the mysterious, the ghostly, the eerie atmosphere….
    These elements are present in the adaptation of Jane Eyre who is the topic of my TPE.
