Gothic Literature Components
Gothic literature consists of a secluded setting, a character with either mental or physical disfigurations, and a supernatural occurance. It is also highly anti-Catholic. Gothic stories are horror stories. Sometimes they involve exorcisms, ghosts, cemeteries, nightmares, imprisionment, claustrophobia, the devil, and curses.
