Jane Austen led the reader and Catherine to believe the spunky General Tilney to be the typical gothic novel’s murderous husband in her book Northanger Abbey.

The three characters I would give gifts to are Lady Macbeth, Macbeth, and Macduff. I would give Lady Macbeth a gold star for doing a good job covering up her husband’s deed. “Woe, alas! What, in our house” (Macbeth Act 2 Sc 3 li. 64-65). Lady Macbeth did a good job pretending that she didn’t know anything about Duncan’s death; therefore, this action deserves a golden star.
