How this started was because the children got sent away to be protected from WWII so they had to go to an orphanage house that was humongous, and had many rooms; and one of those rooms included the enchanted closet. The closet plays a major roll because it leads into the world of Narnia, the closet is what made this book come to life. The closet is just sitting in the empty room with a cloth over it to make sure no one goes in it and realize the power that it has. Another setting that is important is Narnia of course. Narnia holds the many people and creatures that take place in this book. Narnia has the different seasons like fall, summer, winter, and spring. It looks over a beautiful ocean full of mermaids and fascinating fish. It is mostly a medieval place that is ruled by the king Aslan and the enemy which is the Witch Witch who is trying to take over Narnia.

    Gothic literature can be classified by various characteristics. These characteristics can show up alone in some works, but when they appear simultaneously, the work can be determined as gothic. “Jane Eyre” (I would just italicize instead of “ but you do you) fully exhibits these common gothic elements; however, another work that incorporates many of these elements is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Although at first glance, it appears to simply be a fairytale, upon deeper inspection, there are certain elements tied into the plotline that, I believe, classify it as a gothic tale. “Jane Eyre” is a classic example of gothic literature.…

However, what is disturbing is the manner in which this movie imposes gender roles by depicting women in a negative manner. This film seems to be reinforcing the notion that women are weaklings and that the only way in which any society can survive is by upholding male dominance and embracing female submissiveness. The movie begins by showing Cinderella living happily with her parents in a faraway kingdom.…

    In The Fall of the House of Usher, Edgar Allan Poe utilizes his famously grim writing to tell the story of an unnamed narrator witnessing the literal fall of the Usher family -- Roderick and Madeline of Usher. While the plotline itself is dark and mysterious, Poe employs various literary devices to fully express the creepiness of the story. One useful literary device used in this story is setting. The setting amplifies the emotions and state of the characters and helps to clearly define themes throughout the tale. Poe uses an ominous and eerie setting to convey the central themes relating to madness, family, and fear while unifying the story under the single effect of terror.…
