Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I can see Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a precursor to detective novel. In the story, Mr. Utterson serves as a detective after he heard the strange story from Mr. Enfield. He finds the story suspicious that a person called Mr. Hyde paid a check of Dr. Jekyll’s and he started the whole detective story from here. He was afraid that his old friend Dr Jekyll’s inheritance is going to be taken by this Juggernaut. Therefore, he decided to dig up the truth about Mr. Hyde. He stood on the street and waited for Mr. Hyde to show up. He talked to Mr. Poole to know as much information he could about Mr. Hyde. He tried to collect evidence to avoid tragedy happen.

Castle of Otranto

In Castle of Otranto, women do not have many options and the options are ususally offered and controlled by men. In the story,women do not get to chose whom to be with. Manfred, the tyrant, even divorced his wife on his own and decided to marry Isabella. They are treated more like a property instead of an actual human being. Even though this is the situation, Walpole still promote romance. However, the romance all turns out to be tragedy at the end.

Assignment 1

My name is Lluvy. I am from Hong Kong, which is 18 hours flight from here. I came to Texas 4 years ago as an exchange student. I then decided to go to college in the United States and now I am going to be a senior at TCU. I am studying communication as my major. I love to read even though it is hard for me sometimes since English is my second language. As for the same reason, I do not know much about Gothic literature. However, the topic sounds interesting and I am looking forward to learning about it in this class.I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus.
