Before discussing what exactly Gothic literature is, evaluating what elements contribute to a Gothic novel is crucial to examining which conventions are easy to identify and why this is so different from other genres. For example, looking at Figure 1.1, the highest percentage that readers (based on audiences of different ages) associate with "Gothic" is Castles followed by Cemeteries, then Unknown Regions and finally The Devil. Some examples listed in this table are conventions found in some books such as Walpole's Castle of Otranto, Milton's Paradise Lost and Alighieri's Dante's Inferno and also in more modern works such as King's Animal Cemetery are popular examples listed in Gothic novels and horror of all centuries. What is Gothic literature? The definition of the word "Gothic" refers architecturally to the medieval period, as buildings with pointed arches featuring cross vaults are associated with Western European buildings of the 12th and 15th centuries. The introduction of palaces, castles, underground abbeys, dungeons and cemeteries was employed in various poems, such as cemetery poets who wrote in cemeteries about religion, mortality, morality and darkness and gloom. Therefore, medieval architecture embodies darkness, darkness and the sublime, which is why there is such a fascination with Gothic architecture because it is so unusual and strange that it is depicted in literature which reinforces its popularity. This is further emphasized with sculptures, paintings and portraits which are popular examples of Gothic. Also, historically this refers to the Goths as an East Germanic group that became extinct during the Middle Ages. However, what makes Gothic literature so different from... middle of paper... has influenced the Gothic elements that run throughout the book, but it is questionable to say whether they are true Gothic literature texts as one. one of the best elements is the romance in many gothic literature texts. The five-key texts are important because they embody the elements present in Gothic culture so brilliantly because they capture the raw tone and atmosphere that no other Gothic book employs so effectively. Overall, the conclusion is that there is equal continuity and equal change in how Gothic literature differs from premodernist texts to postmodernist texts. However, what is evident that remains is the conventional garb of a Gothic literature text which is affectionately used to capture the disturbing and fearful atmosphere used by classical and postmodernist writers to bring readers that feeling of impending doom and disturbing images in their minds..
