Hey /lit/
I recently started up extension english (16 year old australian) it's pretty difficult, but i think i can do it. Problem is, I missed the first term of it due to me doing a lower level of english.
What I need help with is just the basic elements of the Gothic genre.
My assessment task is:
Write a Gothic narrative that incorporates elements of the gothic genre (1500 - 1700 words)
I don't want you to answer the question, just need help with the understanding of the gothic genre, and how i could incorporate it.
thanks in advance.

If you want to impress your teacher, you'll want to incorporate a story-within-story device (the narrative goes off on a tangent; it's usually a character recalling an event in first-person). They're sometimes tedious, other times interesting. I think Frankenstein had a few, and Lewis' The Monk had several. They're my personal favourites anyway.
