Archbishop Gebhard
My research is based Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg, Austria, built in 1077 by Archbishop
Gebhard. It is currently the largest fully preserved castle in Central Europe. It is now a tourist
attraction and is the most dominate feature of the city's skyline.
This castle was originally built for troop protection for the Imperial army of the Holy Roman
Empire. It was very small, but over a period of more than 900 years, it was transformed in many
different ways. This fortress became the city's most important defense when Archbishop Gebhard
had a conflict with Emperor Henry IV and was influenced to expand the castle in case of invasion.
The expansion continued gradually for the next few centuries, then in 1462, builders under Prince
Archbishop Burkhard III von Weißpriach, constructed the four main towers along the outer wall, a
bell tower in the northern wall, the trumpeter tower in the northeast, the kraut tower in the north and
a type of prison is the south. Prince–Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach during his term further
expanded the castle, and the beast was growing. His coadjutor ( a bishop appointed to assist a
diocesan bishop) Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg wrote descriptions of his idea of a Riess ... Show

The castle had come under siege during the German Peasants' War of in 1525 where a group of
miners and farmers tried to overthrow Prince–Archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg. This
group didn't really cause really harm and the situation was defused because the group could not get
inside the castle. Another situation was during the Napoleonic Wars when the French army invaded,
but the castle was surrendered without a fight and the current archbishop fled to Vienna. Although It
had not gone through much warfare, it still holds a lot of history and records to its name and will

An Experience Of Odysseus In Homer's Odyssey
After our encounter with Polyphemus on Cyclops Island, we landed on an isle not too far away.
From afar, it seemed as if there were no inhabitants, but as some of my crew and I ventured further
into the forests, something seemed amiss. I had begun the exploration with nearly fifty of my crew
surrounding me, but once we had walked no more than a hundred meters, only twenty of my crew
remained by my side. I ordered for my men to halt and search the nearby woodland for the missing
crew. About an hour later, they returned with no information on the missing men. Helios and his
chariot of golden sun were dropping low in the sky, and after attempting to find our way back to our
ship, but failing to do so, we made camp with what we had in a small clearing. My remaining crew
sat close together and drew towards the fire with the fear of this thieving monster in their eyes. I had

In today's media and entertainment business between books, movies and television series the idea of
a vampire has been sexualized by their nature and superior looks. The idea of being bitten by a
vampire is pleasurable in today's time and Bram Stocker created this feeling in what seems to be
Harker's dream. Stoker mixed the horror of the Count when he rips the women off of Jonathon and
gives them a child as a snack instead and the sexual experience with the three female vampires in
Harker's fantasy dream.
8. One of the three female vampires said this to the Count after Dracula's harsh order to leave
Jonathon alone, claiming Harker as property. The quote "You yourself never loved, you never love!"

the women is stating the truth that Dracula has never loved and doesn't love. He isn't capable of
loving in the state that he is in and it makes the reader think about his loneliness and unwillingness

Comparing Wordsworth's Ode to Duty and Elegiac Stanzas
Comparing Wordsworth's Ode to Duty and Elegiac Stanzas
A past attitude is reverted to and revised in Wordsworth's "Ode to Duty" and "Elegiac Stanzas."
Employing geographic metaphors, both celestial and earth–bound, the poems climb over rocky
Wordsworthian terrain that details his reconciliation between past and present and implications of
the future. Though vastly different stylistically‹"Ode to Duty" utilizes an antiquated verse form and
language, while "Elegiac Stanzas" is written in Wordsworth's beloved "language of men"‹and in the
internal willfulness on the poet's part to change versus reaction to external stimuli, the poems

His desire to mend his ways was brought about "Through no disturbance of my soul,/ Or strong
compunction in me wroughtŠ/ But in the quietness of thought" (33–4, 36). The poem's devotion to
an abstract concept exemplifies the willful internality of the poet's decision. This internality leads
the poet to "supplicate for thy control," an act that shifts the poem into the religious territory of
reverence. Indeed, Wordsworth subtly raises his travel conceit from the earth to the heavens. "In the
quietness of thought," a time that is often reserved for prayer, he decides that "Me this unchartered
freedom tires;/ I feel the weight of chance–desires" (37–8). The unmapped liberalism of random
urges weighs him down and bounds him to the earth; the austere and personified guardian of duty,
on the other hand, steps lightly between the earth and the sky: "Nor know we anything so fair/ As is
the smile upon thy face;/ Flowers laugh before thee on their beds/ And fragrance in thy footing
treads;/ Thou dost preserve the stars from wrong;/ And the most ancient heavens, through Thee, are
fresh and strong" (43–8). The craving "for a repose that ever is the same," a constancy that may, in
the future, hold for him "a blissful course," is made salient in the comparison to stars, long regarded
as shapers of destiny (40, 21). The "repose" here means "sleep," whereas in the fourth stanza
"reposed my trust" means

This past spring, I took the chance to travel abroad to Italy with Sterlington High School as a part of

experience I had was while we were in Assisi, the patron city of St. Francis. There lies the Rocca

uphill, but the various flowers and fruit trees, glowing and shining in the afternoon light, that lined

The Literary And Artistic Romanticism Movement
John Constable was a 18th and 19th century English artist whose work has coincided with the
literary and artistic Romanticism movement. His works included many painting and sketches of the
natural world and environment which was one of the hallmarks of Romantic works. A lot of his
work did not cover the theme of ruins until later in his life and especially after the death of his wife.
His oil on canvas painting, "Hadleigh Castle, The Mouth of the Thames–Morning after a Stormy
Night" depicts the ruins of a medieval stronghold known by the same name of Hadleigh Castle after
a storm has ravaged the area over night. However, it is important to note the context in which this
work was created in. In 1828, Constable's wife had passed away and this led to a shift in his own
artistic work. In addition, Constable had also been inducted into the Royal Academy but he was
criticized and scrutinized by the president of the organization which also led to a change in
Constable's style and themes. The setting of the artwork is very gloomy and somber and this has a
lot to do with these events that had taken place in his life during the creation of the piece. Yet,
despite the depressing emotions the image initially evokes, there is also this aspect of renewal and
resurrection that is created by the artwork. In an article titled Constable, John, Michael Rosenthal
from Oxford University stated, "Constable later though a 'ruin' a suitable symbol for himself, but the

Master Cat Essay
There are certain elements that can be found in all trickster tales. One of those common elements is
the appearance of gods, spirits or other supernatural beings such as fairies or trolls. In the three
trickster tales that were assigned, gods spirits and the supernatural are found. In the African trickster
tale about how stories came to be, How Stories Came to Earth, there is a supernatural element in the
form of a god. In this story, the sky god, Nyame lives high up in the sky, where he keeps all the
stories locked in a box for himself. Nyame is portrayed as a typical god, someone who is powerful
and is to be feared. In the tale, Anansi the spider, attempted to get the stories from the sky god, but
had to pay a price. "Now Anansi climbed up hi web to the sky god, Nyame, to ask for the sky god's
stories" (40). The sky god, Nyame, is one example of the supernatural in trickster tales. Another
example of the use of the supernatural is found in the tale, Coyote Steals Fire. Coyote, the main
character, was able to read minds, which was a supernatural talent that gave him advantage,
especially when fighting. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The supernatural element in this tale is displayed in the form of a character. This character is the
ogere that Master Cat tricked and eventually ate. The ogere, a mythical creature in the first place,
also has the ability to shapeshift, which classifies as another supernatural element. Master Cat goes
to the ogre's castle in order to gain control of the castle for his owner. In order to do this, he tricks
the ogre into showing off the ogre's shapeshifting abilities. " 'It has been said,' the cat stated, 'that
you have the ability to transform yourself into any animal at all. I'm told that you can, for example,
turn yourself into a lion or an elephant' " (49). The shapeshifting ogre is another great example of

gothic transition come from the "Prairie Images of Ground and Sky" collection. The collection

This feeling is better reflected in the "Matfield Green" collection that depicts the green expanse that
is similar to the "Prairie Images of Ground and Sky" collection but also includes things such as
railroads and power lines that show that the area is populated. This collection adds an aspect of the
isolated landscape and fear of isolation because there is a sparse dotting of humans across the large
expanse that gives the viewer the knowledge that there are inhabitants around, but not seen or
directly noticed. The element of isolation in nature is demonstrated in The Mysteries of Udolpho
and The Turn of the Screw by Udolpho and the House at Bly through their setting in isolated
landscapes with weak tethers to the rest of civilization. The idea of overcoming this isolation is also
present in the novels. Emily in The Mysteries of Udolpho escapes the isolation to safety. The
Governess in The Turn of the Screw hopes to do the same by connection with the Man from Harley
Street but is not as lucky. The effect of the isolated landscape with an unknown element causes the
reader and viewer to become suspicious of their surroundings and uneasy with the sublime
landscape due to the possibility that something evil is residing within it and give a more traditional
gothic feel. The third collection that completes a gothic picture of the Midwest shows the ruins of
the prairie. "Steel Work –

I do not agree with the comment of Hazlitt: 'There is no play that suffers so much in being
transferred to the stage' Based on performances I have seen and other plays by Shakespeare, I think
this is one of his better plays as it does not stick to guidelines. Although a long play, it has a depth to
it, that, if transferred to the stage well, is transformed from a long and winding script to a fascinating
play filled with suspense and the emotions of the characters run high. 'Hamlet', nonetheless is a

Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton is a story about a monster (or outsider) who enters
into the so called peaceful neighbourhood and disturbs the calm. the message of isolation and

The costume and make–up in "Edward Scissorhands" is used generate feeling and emotions in the
audience. There are major differences in what Edward wears and looks like and what the humans
wear and look like. The costumes guide the audience in to thinking what kind of characters the
people are and will turn out to be like. The town's people are dressed in a typical 1950's style. This
makes them look very simplistic in their ways, on the outside. The women's clothes are very bright
and overly colourful. The colours used generate the view that the townspeople are all very normal,
and everything appears to be alright on the outside. The make–up on the women accents and
highlights their look. The houses are also very bright and false looking, almost like doll houses.

use of colour, the kitsch pastel colours and uniform shapes of the suburban houses differing
completely from the black and white of the derelict castle. The suburban world is apparently perfect

This painting is fairly realistic, so as far as the type of art, the objective was met. However,
emotionalism is also an objective, because the artist imitates reality, but also draws inward for
emotion. Good balance is shown in the painting, I would say it is symmetrical. Rhythm is also well
shown, as you gaze at the painting, your eyes moving around as each part flows into another.
Emphasis is shown on the night sky and the great black figure. Proportion is difficult to describe, as
it is difficult to discern just how big the black figure really is. Variety in the mystical castle and the
quaint town is well shown. Harmony is shown in the way that parts of the painting come together.
Space, value, texture, and shape are the dominant elements of art, as stated in the analysis. I love
this work of art because I love the night so much, particularly in this painting, with its bursts of light
and color. I also love mysteries, and the structure on the left side of the painting is definitely a
mystery to me. I find that this painting is a new favorite of mine, because of its beauty. It is an

David Lockyer's War Limericks
War – it isn't desired by anyone. If we can, we try to avoid it as much as possible. But there are
times when war can't be avoided. This fighting ultimately leads to thousands of innocent lives lost –
men, women and children. We grieve their deaths, we mourn their deaths and we feel saddened by
their deaths. Poetry can help alleviate this saddened feeling. It can help us to feel happier in times of
great depression and stress. Some poems however strike the heart of war and the horrors related to
it. The poets can express their points of view on war, conscriptions or the propagandas in a dark
manner and create a gloomy atmosphere. One of these poems is part of David Lockyer's War
Limericks. As the title suggests, this poem is a limerick with sound and visual language used to
boost the poems meaning.
The theme of Lockyer's poem is the B–17, a bomber which flew for the United States Army Air
Corps in World War II. In this poem, Lockyer is trying to express his own point of view ... Show
In the poem, Lockyer is expressing the success of the B–17 bomber in World War II. The bomber
was a relatively large airframe measuring in at a wingspan of 32 metres and an overall length of 21
metres. Because of this, he compares the B–17 to a castle, saying it was "a castle in the air." He also
calls the B–17 a "flying fortress." This name again gives us a visual image of just how large this
bomber was.
Speaking of a "flying fortress," this is one example of sound language that Lockyer has used. It is a
form of alliteration and helps to flow the poem. It helps to emphasise the idea of the B–17 being a
castle in the sky. Alliteration also adds to the rhythm of a poem and in a limerick this is all the more
important. Because this poem is a limerick, it contains an AABBA rhyme and rhythm pattern.
Rhyme and rhythm in a poem are important because they provide the heartbeat of the poem to

The use of "Brain Over Brawn" has to do with the cleverness of the trickster, but contains a physical

different animals to the sky–god in order to pay for the sky–god's stories. "He poured out some
water and sprinkled it all over their nest." Anansi tricks the bees into thinking it was raining and they
had to fly into his gourd before it ruined their wings. Anansi also made a doll holding eto and put
sticky fluid from a tree on its face, so when the fairies slapped the doll their hands stuck to it. The
fairies ask the doll for some eto and it shakes it's head yes. The fairies ate some of the dolls eto, but
Anansi ignores the fairies when they thank him which angers them, so the fairies slap the doll and

The Medieval Castles Of The Middle Ages
There was time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the reformation. This was called the
middle ages. This time was crammed with war, the struggle for power, disease, and illiteracy.
Although, there was much intelligence that was sparked around this time (Castles of the Middle
Ages). The first castle was introduced in 1066. This gigantic beauty was named the Motte and
Bailey and was constructed in England (Motte and Bailey Castles). Castle designs soon spread
throughout Europe. This was a way to defend royalty and ended up being a big advantage when
used against their enemies (Middle Ages). Castles played a very significant role in this day in age
when it came to their economic and social role and their military. They were very specifically ...

It was dark, cold, and even smelly. It was consistently filled with busy work, and not very
comfortable at all to rest in (Life in a Medieval Castle). They are described as gloomy, wet places.
The fireplaces filled the rooms with smoke, the only lights used were from lights that flickered, the
furniture was damp, and the floors were bare stone and sometimes covered with the skin of animals.
In this day of age, it was better to be living in a gloomy, gross place than being without defense
(Middle Ages for Kids Medieval Castles). Castles are now viewed as romantic places that only the
affluent can live in. It's viewed as the perfect life, but it was never really "the perfect place to live"

Mother Gaea Alternate Ending
Apollo paced around in his castle muttering.
" I need Mother Gaea to help me with my horses. How come she never pays attention to me?"
Apollo complained. Meanwhile, Artemis was jumping up and down with jubilation.
" I did it! I did it!" Artemis exclaimed.On her worktable was the very first deer.
"Oh, I'm so proud of you!" cooed Mother Gaea. It just so happened that that was the exact moment
that Apollo came to Artemis workshop to complain. Furious with jealousy, Apollo screamed,
" You will learn to respect me, Mother, be it tomorrow or in a million years. All you will know, see,
and be proud of is me!". Poof! With that he disappeared in a blinding light. Once back at his castle,
Apollo planned furiously about the way he would gradually and inconspicuously get rid of of his

The Story Of Bram Stoker
The story of Dracula consists of many genres that it can be classified as, some of them being
adventure, fantasy, horror and gothic fiction. The writing style of Bram Stoker is unique and he uses
any word to his advantage, describing the novel and painting a picture for the reader. The graphic
description helps readers to imagine the place and make it seem as if they were there in person. The
time–period of which this story was written and based upon, was in the mid–Victorian era (1850–
1870). In the novel, the setting changes a lot over the course of the story, but it is predominantly set
in Transylvania, which is now inside the country of Romania.
Transylvania is portrayed as a rustic, primitive and virtually medieval. Bram Stoker describes

Once upon a time there lived 2 sons, a king, and pigs and cows peacefully eating grass and carrots.
They had lived on an island known as Ireland and the king was very selfish. He was also wealthy
and so he would not share a meal with anyone not even a piece of it. As the king grew fat and wide
he still didn't care. He was so fat he exclaimed once as his news " look at this citizens I'm fat!!!" and
he literally meant to say that to the whole village. Then the king made a fire so he could eat beef

the field. He then found out that he was at a high cholesterol and died due to the fact that the doctors

with muculent mud and broken decomposed parts of the castle lay beside it reminding us that danger

The sun began to set on the hills and darkness crept across the land. It was not just the darkness of
night coming, it was also from black clouds that were invading the sky. A strong wind started
blowing and lighting started to flash across the sky. In that very moment , Fleance and Banquo felt
threatened. The storm was a warning about danger to their lives. Banquo and Fleance decided to
return back to the castle which was like a dark mountain in the distance. They rode quickly but
because of the strong wind and the amount of lightning going around Banquo and Fleance, the
horses got tired very easily.
Fleance looked very pale. He was young, only about fifteen and was not used to the sounds of battle

Gothic Elements In Bram Stoker's Dracula
Bram Stoker's Dracula is a prime example of a piece of gothic literature, particularly in the
description of Count Dracula's castle. While gothic literature can contain a vast number of elements,
some of the most common ones include a setting in a castle and a mysterious, gloomy atmosphere
(Harris, 2015). At the end of the first chapter of Dracula, protagonist Jonathan Harker describes
Count Dracula's castle abode as "... the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black
windows come no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the
moonlit sky" (Stoker, 11). This description encompasses two elements of gothic literature, the two
aforementioned elements, within the same sentence. The novel continues to ... Show more content

The typical answers would be a crucifix, sunlight or mirrors, and garlic. All three of these
"traditional" methods are mentioned in Dracula, and are mentioned as foreshadowing, allowing
readers to draw their own conclusions that Dracula is a vampire. When Jonathan Harker is
beginning his journey to Count Dracula's castle, the wife of his hotel landlord gives him a crucifix to
ward off evil (Stoker, 4). Though Jonathan sees crucifixes as "idolatrous" according to his religion,
he wears the crucifix to appease the old woman (Stoker, 4). This foreshadowing implies that the old
woman knows of the true nature of the Count. As Jonathan notes the opulence of Dracula's home, he
remarks that "... in none of the rooms is there a mirror. There is not even a toilet glass on my table,
and I had to get the little shaving glass from my bad before I could either shave or brush my hair"
(Stoker, 16). The following morning, Jonathan attempts to shave when he wakes up, but Dracula
seizes the small shaving glass, claiming that "It is a foul bauble of man's vanity. Away with it!"
(Stoker, 21). He then proceeds to throw the shaving glass out the window (Stoker, 21–22). Dracula's

The castle has pointed tips and windows. It also has flying buttresses. Another thing it has are tall
spires and a gloomy look to it. Therefore, the castle would be classified as Gothic. Relating to the
castle where Fiona is captures, the textbook tells us that gargoyles are carved figures that serve as
waterspouts that drain water from the roof. Gargoyles also include other grotesque carvings
associated with Gothic. It says that flying buttresses are stone arches that carry most of the weight of
the roof, so the massive thick walls are not needed. Tall spires reached high in the sky to the heavens
and over took the landscape. The cathedral Notre Dame de Paris began in 1163. It took artisans
centuries to complete. (268). At Lord Farquaad and Fiona's wedding, there are big stained glass
windows in the background. The tips of the windows are pointed. The windows also have several

They have committed immoral activity such as thievery but are no ruthless enough to murder an

raised his yellow shield and drew his sword" establishes Wiglaf's loyalty to his king (759–60).
While Wiglaf and Pazu both fight for people they care about, Pazu allies with the Dola Gang in
order to achieve his goal. Traditional heroes would never ally with an evil doer to accomplish their
goal. However, Patzu see's no other choice around it and wishes to protect Sheeta despite the
negative imagery that can be associated with him for joining the pirates. Patzu's devotion illustrates
the dedication some people have and how such dedication can risk making questionable decisions.

The sounds of rushing water cried beneath the stone bridge that connected the two worlds. Sprawled

and the scent of rotting flesh lingered forever. In the air, the sounds of a single horse and metal
clanking could be heard, ringly clearly and loudly. Faster and faster, sprinting towards the moat
bridge, until the small, gray imps sprang out and shot the incoming horse with a barrage of arrows.
They spoke inaudible sounds and were quite resilient powerful shooters despite their frame. A single

The Castle Of Otranto Research Paper
Despite this, The Castle of Otranto appeared to be a unique novel for its time with Walpole
introducing and changing the definition of terminology used, to suit the text and its structure
accordingly: the word "gothick" was almost always a synonym for rudeness, barbarousness, crudity,
coarseness and lack of taste. After Walpole the word assumed two new major meanings: first,
vigorous, bold, heroic and ancient, and second, quaint, charming, romantic, perhaps a little decadent
in its association with Romanism, but sentimental and interesting (George Gordon 9).
Due to this, it can be argued that this is potentially one of the main reasons for the novel becoming

The complete concept of a giant helmet falling from the sky is entirely preposterous and completely
ridiculous to the contemporary reader with the reaction of the characters also emphasising the ample
absurdness and ludicrous nature of the whole situation, tied in with the lameness of the reaction
from such an inexplicable, yet catastrophic event from occurring: "oh! The helmet! The helmet!"
(Otranto 18). Secondly, for many readers, the novel is very inept in terms of settings being
described, as well as events, characters and the conflicts that take place, as it all appears to be a
combination of factors acquired from older works, such as Shakespeare's Hamlet. Generally, the
concepts of a giant helmet, a hand, a foot and a leg are all equally as crazy concepts too but are
probably what enticed readers into reading the novel in the first place, before they knew the true

Similarities Between The Great Gatsby And Fahrenheit 451
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now
put foundations under them..." –Henry David Thoreau. This quote means that you can be a dreamer
and have wondrous ambitions but that will all go to waste unless effort is put towards that ambition.
I agree with this statement because people can have the most amazing goals but go no where
without the required effort. This statement is supported by the novel The Great Gatsby written by F.
Scott Fitzgerald and Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury. A literary device from Fahrenheit 451
that relates to the critical lens in an allegory. "...trying to fill a sieve with sand...And the faster he
poured, the faster it sifted through with a hot whispering. His hands were tired, the sand was boiling,
the sieve was empty"(Bradbury 78). This device, similar to the critical lens meaning in that a bunch
of work can be put into something and go nowhere without the proper foundation. A literary device
from the Great Gatsby that relates to the critical lens is symbolism. The green light on the

Tundra Welty: A Short Story
A devoid landscape lies ahead. The petite stream is the only guide, slithering nimbly on – almost

onto them, their humdrum green tops merging together. They are quite daunting: their lanky
structure, over hanging ledges (that threaten to give way any moment) – everything about the wild
stone pillars are awe striking, and great. Although the tundra land was intriguing, there was a lot
more to see; meandering down the valley, the grass (which was once a luscious green) has begun to

Separating from the curious undergrowth, there stands a cluster of undersized mountains. Fog seeps
from every crack it can find, poisoning the land with poor sight. Blending in with the mountains is a
castle; the mist and the mountains are its guards, and the bridge (that is beautifully chiselled) is the
only access to it. All in all, it looks as intimidating as a cobra preparing to strike, and was not to be

Bram Stoker's 'Mood Of The First Chapter Of Dracula'
Dracula – Chapter 1
Tone is a writer's tool that creates mood in a story. Within the first chapter of Dracula, the author,
Bram Stoker, uses this to create a mood of terror. First, Bram Stoker shows tremendous change in
scenery as the main character moves closer to Dracula's castle. As the story begins, Jonathan is
traveling from England to Transylvania. Through the window he sees the colorful fields, orchards of
pears, apples, plums, all vibrantly full of life. However, as he nears Castle Dracula, he travels in the
depth of night. Jonathan writes in his journal "we could hear the rising wind, for it moaned and
whistled through the rocks, and the branches of the trees crashed together as we swept along."
(Bram Stoker 2003 Page 17) Hearing that creates a mood of terror for the reader. Because of the
drastic change between the colorful setting ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For instance, the switch of the colorful clothing clothing of the peasants to the contrasting of the
white and black of the castle are used to build up fear in the reader's mind. At the beginning of the
chapter, peasants in Britiz, wear colorful attire which creates a mood of joy and wonder as the reader
travels to eastern Europe. However, as Jonathan approaches Castle Dracula, he sees " a vast ruined
castle, form whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a
jagged line against the moonlit sky" (Bram Stoker 2003 page 18). As the reader goes through a vast
field of teeming with color, he feels delighted enjoying the journey vicariously; however, as the
pleasant scene turns into a unpalatable imagery of terror which it creates unpleasant thoughts.
Another way the author instills a mood of fear is by contrasting Jonathan with the townspeople who
have superstitions about the in the castle. In the beginning of the chapter Jonathan has no idea that
he is heading towards danger not understanding the allusions to Transylvania. He even takes the
time to go to the British Museum
