2 examples of gothic

Two examples of Gothic I could point out for today's assigned reading are, first, when Jane comes to this big manor (thornfield) and hears strange noises and a laughing noise that appears mysterious. She finds out that Mrs. Fairfax was the housekeeper, not the mom. Adele was left at that place by her mom, a french singer. The darkness of the scene where Jane is at the top-floor and sees this horse coming by and a dog soon appearing, both seeming ghostly, is also a feature that connects this novel to gothic. Another scene I could mention is when Jane comes to fin Rochester's room on fire and saves him from death, soon discovering that this was a murder attempt by Grace, the strange seamstress who had the mysterious laugh. All the darkness in these chapters are related to gothic, how they have troubled lives, how they hear and see strange things, and also how the people involved can be somewhat questionable and mysterious. Jane by now knows that Grace was guilty for what happened in Rochester's room, however, she is surprised by why nothing was said and she was allowed to get away with it.
