The Desire for Revenge In a time of weakness we often see how the power of human nature can push ordinary people to commit acts of violence for the wrong doings suffered at his or her hands. Creasy and Montresor clearly display similar actions through their desire for revenge‚ their course of action‚ and their vindictive outcomes.

Robert Deniro’s full version of Frankenstein I could easily tell from the couple clips we watched it looks quite different.

Michelle Cardwell English Literature – Understanding Literature Compare & Contrast the use of ‘horror’ in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein The gothic horror genre is a favourite for many readers. We love the suspense and mystery‚ the desperation‚ the doom and gloom‚ the claustrophobia‚ even the blood. But most of all we love the fear - the feeling we get that gives us pathos with the protagonist that keeps us on the edge of our seats and propels us to turn the page. How do
