  1. Alex: Very insightful.Especially liked the link between Carter's Erl King and Macbeth.

    Nabilah: Great examples of the supernatural. Do you, then, think that the gothic is reliant on the supernatural?

    Sally: Great examples of horror and terror in all texts. I gained a better understanding of the two terms

    Masud: Great insights on the Byronic hero in all four texts.

    Daniel: Great insight on the uncertainty. Is there any examples of linking uncertainty to structure and form in TBC, D and M?

  2. Alex - Good examples, learnt a lot more about setting in all of the texts!

    Daniel - Very informative, clearly explained uncertainty and unsettling the reader in gothic texts!

    Sally - Your podcast developed my understanding of horror and terror, but do you have any critical interpretations on the subject?

    Masud - Good, helped me learn a lot about the byronic hero - loved the swearing at the end... hehe!
