A. This story can relate to many gothics in today’s world because that is how the story is written. It is written in a very gothic style and has many similarities to character of a common gothic. I personally think it is strange but others may find it comfortable and be proud of it. I know Edgar Allen Poe does many of his stories in a gothic style of literature but out of all the ones I have read by him so far this is the most gothic.
C. One thing that confused me was that the narrator did not know that Roderick had a sister. If he is the narrator then why doesn’t he know everything about the story and even what is going to happen in the future. Was Poe using this as a style? Or type of writing?
D. What I like about this story is that it is extremely dark and you can’t really get a read on what is going to happen next. Not only do I not know what is going to happen but the narrator doesn’t even know. You can tell that the narrator is surprised at some times.
