good man and emily

in a Good man and Emily stories there is the gothic feel with the grotesque characters. In Emily in you have this lady who thinks to much of herself and is above others and never marries. The story does not show what exact reason just that she and her family turned away all the young men. Throughout the story you have people saying poor emily and giving you the hope something good happens to her and she finds someone. Then in the end it shows the man she loved had died in her house and she had been sleeping the bed as the dead man, so you get the feeling of liking her and then having strange and odd thoughts that she was insane because of her actions during the story. In a good man the Misfit was a character you wanted to hate because he killed everyone but then when he was telling his story about his family and how he does not remember doing anything wrong you get the idea that he might be a good man. Then he went ahead and killed the family it all turns into hating him again. These did have the gothic feel in this way and it did put a little fear into the readers with the killings and the decaying body that the lady slept in the bed with.
