    Very good job. . .but fact check: Glenarvon was written by Lady Caroline Lamb, not Claire Claremont.

    Thank you so much! The Brontes are my favorite authors and Gothic literature as a whole has been my desired area of study! Glad I found your channel

    A very good analysis! As you talked of Darwin's theory, it reminded me of HG Well's "Time Machine," which, in of itself, is considered to be sci-fi. But, it also parallels Frankenstein and the speculation of how humans came to be through scientific means as you were saying. (Or, in Well's story, what the future might look like as evolution plays out). Just interesting how ideas can bleed so easily throughout the ages and how they are all so intertwined. Some of what Wells includes as Gothic elements are a confined space (underground) as well as feelings of discomfort at the brute-like "humans" living in the underground spaces, much like what one first feels at encountering Frankenstein's monster.
    Edit: you mentioned "The Yellow Wallpaper!???" Ahhh!!! I just ordered the story not that long ago, as it kept coming up, and I had to know what the hype was about. And I am obsessed!!!! Love that little book to pieces! It was such a short, easy read, too.

    A wonderful video, really well explained. I got a lot out of it, and will likely give it a few rewatches. Thank you!

    That was enjoyable. I think you could have also included the novella 'Justine' by the Marquis de Sade and the novel 'Salammbo' by Flaubert. Talk about heroines in distress!

    That wasn’t how The Yellow Wallpaper grabbed me. It seemed like a story about the harm of the patriarchy and the medical practices of the time against a woman’s mental health.

    I don’t think The Castle of Otranto was intended as a farce. Rather it was harking back to an earlier era where things were less modern.
