Like many Gothic novels before it, Stephenie Meyer's novel Twilight has been a phenomenal success. Twilight, like its precursors, also has the potential to give us fascinating insights about the society for which it was created--OUR SOCIETY. Gothic novels can certainly be read just for fun--and I encourage you to have fun while you read Twilight. These novels can also be read more seriously to reveal insight about what we fear and why we fear it.
This blog is an opportunity for you to make connections between the world of Twilight, the examples of literary Gothic that we'll be studying in class, and the "dangerous" world in which we live. I am looking forward to reading your unique comments throughout the semester.
You are free to post as often as you'd like.
