Emily Dickinson's Poetry

Question 5 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

Based on what you’ve learned, how might a Dark Romantic writer use a character to add gothic elements to a short story? Check the three best answers.

Answer
A
by describing a person finding peace in a natural setting
B
by portraying a man’s experience with mental illness due to oppression.
C
by telling about a young woman lost in a dark, eerie forest
D
by communicating the ability of the individual to reform an unjust society
E
by showing a medieval nobleman who shuts himself away in a crumbling castle

Explanation

Dark Romantic writers often use disturbing inner experiences and ominous settings to create gothic effects. A man suffering mental illness under oppression, a young woman lost in a dark forest, and a nobleman isolated in a crumbling castle each suggest fear, psychological darkness, or decay. Finding peace in nature and reforming society are more hopeful ideas, not typical gothic elements.
