dc.descriptionIn his well-known critical overview over the defining characteristics of the Gothic, David Punter (1996) outlines three overarching components that underscore the mode: paranoia, the barbaric, and the concept of taboo. Focused as it is on representational intersections of excess, the macabre, and uncanny atmospheres, it is not uncommon to see the Gothic mode rendering feeling of alienation, social separation, Otherness and, ultimately, fear, as these feelings are developed in contexts of isolation that rely on terror as an overarching framework.
