    I love this. "Not so much saved by a knight but rather lured away by a dark knight" THIS is perfectly put and makes me feel more clarity around that dynamic, thank you. I wish I could have screamed answers at you!! Haha

    I wish people would add real subtitles to educational videos like this they can be hard to understand if english isn't your first language.
    Edit: I don't mean subtitles in different languages, I just mean English subtitles so you can understand everything.

    God, I remember classes like this, everyone afraid to speak up. The professor could’ve asked “what’s 5 x 5”? And kids still wouldn’t raise their hands

    Interesting lecture, shame the students were not able to engage more with you or the subject matter!

    Quotes about the Gothic (or Gothic-sounding quotes)
    In Walter Scott’s view Gothic literature's appeal lay in “that secret and reserved feeling of love for the marvellous and supernatural, which occupies a hidden corner in almost every one's bosom.”
    Ray Bradbury once said of Chaney, "He was someone who acted out our psyches. He somehow got into the shadows inside our bodies; he was able to nail down some of our secret fears and put them on-screen. The history of Lon Chaney is the history of unrequited loves. He brings that part of you out into the open, because you fear that you are not loved, you fear that you never will be loved, you fear there is some part of you that's grotesque, that the world will turn away from."

    Good lecturer, dull students. How did they get into such a world-class university, and not seem to register basic concepts transmitted through a cursory knowledge of the humanities? Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? Elements of romance? Dracula for crying out loud! Oy vey.

    If I behaved like your students , my lecturer would walk out. I feel sorry for you that you have cardboard cut outs for students. Simple questions they act like stone

    There is something I don't understand. Wasn't Rochester's wife clinically mad in the book? And wasn't it popular to be racist in Bronte's time? Why would she be subtle about it? I don't want to dismiss the idea, we all know how racist people were, but at the same time, it doesn't make sense to me. I think a revision is due.

    Looks like literature students everywhere are just as unenthusiastic and dull as in my course.

    This a a fascinating subject which the presenter makes boring; and the students seem to be vaguely semi-present in order to pick up an easy extra credit.
