Gothic+Setting+and+Architecture

Setting and Architecture in the British Gothic Novel: - Setting plays a major role in all texts, but especially in Gothic literature. Often times, nature will set the stage for a certain character (For example, the Swiss Alps, which are awe-inspiring and gigantic, are often used to make the Monster seem more frightening). Other times, elements of the natural may reflect unnatural occurrences in society, which is know as pathetic fallacy (for example, there is thunder and lightning when the monster is first "born" on page 43). - Atmosphere and mood are also created by elements of setting, and gothic architecture is highly influenced by the architecture used.
