Gothic Literature Story

Directions: Each member of each blog group must write their own Gothic Literature short story using their understanding of the tenents of Gothic Literature. For this week only, you have to write and post your Gothic Literature stories for your members to read and discuss. Good Luck!

1. Why did Montresor want to kill Fortunado?
Level 3
1. Is it better to murder someone who is intoxicated or above the influence?

The Black Cat-Allegra

"Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me into hangman. I had walled the monster up within the tomb!”

 

Grigg

"When added no doubt, to my hatred of the beast, was the discovery on the morning after I brought it home, that, like Pluto, it also had been dpreived of one of its eyes"

This is very ironic that both cats happen to been deprived of an eye.

Blog Questions week of 10-10

1. Discuss who could be the protagonist and antagonist in The Black Cat; explain your logic and reasoning for why? Please remember to use details and specifics from the story to support your response.

2. What Gothic Literature that we've read so far is your favorite, explain why? (The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death, The Minister's Black Veil, or The Black Cat)

3. What are some similarities between all the Gothic Literature stories we've read so far? Again, be specific and use details in your response.

Minister's Black Veil

Arianna Amini

"How strange," said a lady, "that a simple black veil, such as any woman might wear on her bonnet, should become such a terrible thing on Mr. Hooper's face!"

Allegra

"An unsought pathos came hand in hand with awe."
