Thus if Gothic in literature is broader than genre, deeper than plot, and wider than a single tradition, we should not be surprised to see that it transgresses other cultural boundaries. Thus my claim that Freud writes in Gothic: the true heir of Walpole and Radcliffe is not an imitator such as Stephen King or Victoria Holt (who reproduce early Gothic plots and ambiance with only superficial changes). Freud's descriptions of "human nature," his portrait of the mind's secret "structures" and dynamics, conform to the patriarchal version of "reality"—the Symbolic—even as he questions it (sometimes unconsciously).

From left to right, Anne's new (and hopefully final) design, a detailed drawing of her sceptre, some rough sketches of to help flesh out her design and finally her previous design from an older drawing.

Overall, I'm super happy with how she turned out. Initially I was going to make her colour palette more cool toned with blue and teals, but then I realized it was too similar to Airi's colour palette, so I did a last minute switch up. Turned out better than most of my last minute decisions.

Hope you like her 😁

In Male Gothic the gaze is another aspect of those omnipresent boundary violations that lead, eventually, to punishment--looks may literally “kill.” In the context of Female Gothic, however, to gaze becomes a creative rather than a destructive act. In “realizing” things or persons other than herself the heroine literally “makes them real.” Her perception enlarges her world, opens up the possibility of discovering good, and of finding what she seeks.

Anne Williams, Art of Darkness: A Poetics of Gothic. Williams cites the myth of Psyche and Echo as the prototypical Female Gothic plot, with Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre as one of its most recognizable manifestations.

Perrault retells the patriarchal tale of female curiosity not as religious myth but as a social – if somewhat remote – “reality.” The stories of Eve and Pandora have vague pastoral settings; “Bluebeard,” however, takes place within Bluebeard’s house, in “culture” rather than “nature,” thus implying the degree to which the boundaries, the forbidden, are cultural, an expression of the powers that be –Bluebeard’s “property.”
