HEL DUE TODAY!! Using vivid imagery, describe a gothic setting that could be symbolic. Your description should be four to six sentences.

The setting of a Gothic work is very important and usually symbolic of the decline of something that was once good, beautiful, or thriving. The physical setting is essential to creating the emotional setting or mood of fear and anxiety. The physical setting may be characterized by:

an atmosphere of fear enhanced by the unknown

decaying scenery

a castle, mansion, or building that may be in ruins or haunted

underground passages, crypts, and catacombs

basements or attics

labyrinths, dark corridors, and winding stairs

darkness or shadows

a flickering light or a full moon

extreme landscapes

weather such as rain, fog, thunder, or wind

These locations and conditions create an emotional setting of suspense, dread, fear, and anticipation. Description is important and usually very vivid in suspenseful works. Authors use imagery that appeals to the five senses to draw the audience into the foreboding or frightening atmosphere.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
