    The house was big. It’s the typical, “seventies style” home on one of the most, “selected streets.” The house use to be, “white (1)” after the death of Emily’s father the house slowly began to fall apart. Emily’s house was the only original house left from the seventies and it had started to decay. It is a tad ironic that the outside of the house is decaying as in the room upstairs a man’s body is also decaying, this is an example as well for the Gothic setting. The fact that the author states the house used to be “white” is important due to the time period the house was built. When Emily’s father was a live the house was well kept and maintained once he passed away the house began to fall apart. As time goes on the house just begins to decay more. The “white” house is no longer “white”, the balcony is falling part. This also helps paint the picture of a Gothic setting because the house is now scary looking. The house is beginning to look “abandoned”, there is a smell of dust and “disuse- a close, dank smell (1)”. The fact that the house has a distinct smell also gives off the Gothic feel. These are examples of the Gothic setting because of the darkness created by the eeriness of the decaying structure of the building. It makes the house look like something out of a horror or supernatural…

    In the opening of this story, the narrator is closed-minded to the idea of a blind man entering his home. “A blind man in my house is not something I looked forward to” (1). It is through his resistance that we are introduced to his insecurities, and the layer of doubt that overcomes him. He is a simple man who lives a simple life. He loves his wife, but is not even sure what the love he has with her entails. His wife is a very expressive woman, using poetry to describe feeling and emotion. He is dismissive of her talent and more obviously, of her. “I can remember I didn’t think much of the poem. Of course, I didn’t tell her that... something to read” (1). They’re lack of communication is what draws the woman even closer to the blind man. She shares an intimate and emotional bond with him that she has never been able to establish with the narrator.…

    The narrator is shown to be a man who is envious of his wife’s first husband, jealous of her bond with the blind man and who smokes marijuana daily. The narrator’s use of a narrative point of view helps give the readers an inside of his personal thoughts about the blind man, Robert.

    Holden Caulfield is an insane person in a sane world. What is insanity? Insanity is when you’re in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior or social interaction. This state is mental illness. Insanity is when you do things in deranged or outrageous ways that could frighten people, or make people feel uncomfortable when around you. It’s when you do things out of the ordinary; yet feel as if they are ordinary. Insanity could come about when you’re depressed, or after a traumatic event, and sometimes even by keeping all your feelings bottled up inside of yourself. Sane people are sensible, reliable, well-adjusted and practice sound judgment. It’s behavior that is expected in a society. By these definitions Holden Caulfield is an insane person in a sane world due to his inability to deal with the real world, his obsession with irrelevant details, and his overly judgmental and critical nature.

In the second paragraph, the narrator says he loves the…

    It was a house that most people tend not to venture and it gave no indication that anyone should. Its entrance had an old iron gate that creaked from here to heaven. The pavement leading to the house was beginning to crumble from its use over the years. There was a big oak tree at the front that made the house even spookier. We opened the old dirty wooden door and found ourselves in the dark musky living room. It was filled with so much dust and cobwebs that made it almost impossible to breathe. It was furnished with antique furniture that was imported specially for its former owners. Some were covered with sheets while the others showed just about enough dust to have been from centuries ago.…
