Gothic literature is not just about ghosts and haunted castles; it’s about the emotional and psychological turmoil that characters endure. The genre often delves into themes of madness, isolation, forbidden love, and moral corruption, creating a rich tapestry of emotions that feel both timeless and unsettling. Whether it’s the gothic horror of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the brooding romanticism of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, or the eerie atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe’s works, each piece allows me to reflect on the complexities of the human soul.
