“Gothic settings are desolate, alienating and full of menace” Within Wuthering Heights, ‘the moors’ is a setting that is seemingly desolate, this landscape is presented as wild and untameable, “gaunt thorns stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun” with a life of it own, therefore making it seem more menacing. Furthermore it is also shown as difficult to cross, For example when Isabel travels across the moors from Wuthering Heights to Thrushcross grange she is “ “ therefore providing this setting with a sense of power, and making it more powerful than the people within it. Even the ghost of Cathy that appears in chapter three says “I lost my way on the moors” here Bronte could be suggesting that even a character who finds the moors comforting and enjoys spending time there can even manage to get lost. Also the moors provide a barrier between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross grange, ultimately making the height seem even more desolate. The house of Wuthering Heights is introduced into the novel in a storm.
Created for the festival of Dionysus in 431 BC, Medea is a controversial study of impassioned love turned into furious hatred. It examines the liability of various characters for the final tragedy of the play, whence Medea butchers her two innocent children. It also disregards the concept of ‘heroes’ common to dramas in Euripides time. The clash of two contrasting characters — one, a barbarian woman with extreme emotional reactions, and her husband, a vain man of civilisation who lacks empathy — allows Euripides to explore whether it is the heart or the head that drives humans to commit inhumane acts. Medea’s extreme emotional attachments can only be expressed through extreme measures.

The Madness that is Abigail Williams: Her Intentions in The Crucible “How hard it is when pretense falls! But it falls, it falls!” With these chilling and ominous words, Abigail’s twisted sense of revenge rings hollow in Arthur Miller’s terrifying play, The Crucible. A masterpiece of its time, The Crucible brings forth the true horrors man is capable of: deception and vengefulness. No character presents these values as well as Abigail, whose lust and heartbreak for John Proctor results in a homicidal goose chase. Because of her hate towards Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth, Abigail creates demented tales, directed at abolishing the “problem.” Though Abigail’s wild canards seem quite obtuse in civilization today, at the time her acts fell to justification.
The monster acts with extreme selfishness and from that comes unethical behaviour and actions. After not getting what he wanted, he promises to destroy Victor’s life and threatens him, by saying “I go; but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding-night" (137). The monster decides to unrightfully take revenge on Victor. The monster is so self-centred that it is incapable of acting ethical, and that its actions are solely to achieve its horrific goal. The above quote also ties in with one of the themes of the book, which is monstrosity.
No child on this earth should be treated that way. She was extremely cruel and cold hearted. This is the most depressing but the best book ever. I feel so bad for the author. This book will horrify, disgust, and inspire those who read Dave’s journey through the dark insanity of his mother.

Therefore, by stating that Chup is a "place of shadows", 'shadows' become just as insidious as Chup. As Haroun approaches the Twilight Strip, Butt notices that Haroun was suffering from "a Heart-Shadow (121)", the symptoms of which are manifested in Haroun's thoughts: 'With our absurd armada,' he despaired, 'how can we ever succeed in that world…. The closer they came…the more formidable the prospect of the Chupwala Army became.
