For the first half of the second semester we were given our brief. We were asked over Christmas to pick a book from the list given to us by Kat. The list was of classic Gothic Horror novels.
- The Picture of Dorian Gray
- Dracula
- Great Expectations
- The Strange of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- Frankenstein
- The Fall of the House of Usher
- The turn of the Screw
- The Castle of Otranto
- The Mysteries of Adolfo
- The Monk
- Jane Eyre
- Northanger Abbey
- Vathek
- Wuthering Heights
- Carmilla
We were then asked to choose a book that we were drawn to and write a review about it. This was our first introduction to the Gothic Horror brief. We were then asked to choose a character and write a review about our character, whilst also collecting every piece of information that we can of our chosen character.
We then had to create a new Gothic Horror blog and post our information and review to this blog.
I'm really looking forward to this project and whats to come as I feel this subject to be dark and interesting and a really interesting subject due to its deep psychological background and influence. All of these stories have a dark message. I'm also looking forward to reading my chosen book 'The picture of Dorian Gray', as I haven't ever read it before but I know that it has a huge following and that its a very respected novel in the world of literature.
