He sounds like David Bowie and I'm not angry about that
Mmh... isn’t that weird? He has a "Bow" too in his name. Maybe they‘re slightly related in a gothic way.
I thought so too...
Perhaps a gothic doppelganger
I also thought that! This is very strange.
I find the gothic era wonderful. A true moment of beauty in the world of literature. It is a shame not everyone agrees.
Agreed!
this video was straight flames, cheers John for giving me a detailed insight to all things GOTHIC!!!
Since my early ages I search about the gothic philosophy. We see so many stories and bullsh** about supernatural... when the heart of this idea is nothing but, to accept that saddness, problems, frustrations and even death (over all things) are part of us. Naturally, we are supposed to born and die, to smile and cry, our hearts beat fast when we're in love and also in danger. The way to understand, and accept this struggles of our life is by exploring the supernatural, the intense feeling of fear and emptiness that we're always avoidding.
We must NOT worship death, but we must also not ignore it, we need to be intense on every aspect of our souls, go against our animal desires day after day. That's the way of dealing with our fate and who knows, we can reach another level of "humanity".
"'Cause to be the judge, you must know the crimes", a sentence of mine. To find our courage and happyness, we must understand our fears and saddnes. At least this is what I think, and what I take for my life, the gothic style in every area, teaches us to never run from the dark, but goes through it and find the light at the end the journey.
ain nobody reading allat
this music is a fucking bop ngl
I just visited Stawberry Hill House and then watched this video and its fun to be the two favorites of mine intertwined :) great video
8:06 "There do appear to be ghosts, but, in fact, by the end of the novel all those ghosts have been explained."
So scooby doo?
Watch the the video on The Gothic, list the main elements of Gothic literature, and list 5 ways you've seen the Gothic thus far in Wuthering Heights.
Thank you for posting this!
Goth always touch my feeling.. specially on the story in the past.. not forgetting the ordinary massage.. dark but the orher side very artistic and mysterious music
GOTH and Gothic albeit related are in fact two distinctive things!
@@filipematias5127 The Goths were a middle age.. ostrogoths and visigoth, and Gothic refers to the art and culture.. so? What do you want to say? Matias?
This is a fantastic and concise summary of the gothic!
It is nice to hear somebody talk about the true gothic style. I love proper Victorian gothic fiction, films. interiors and architecture because it is so devour of life that Freud's sublimation defense mechanism mentioned in this video is easy for somebody such as myself to apply because I am neurodivergent and I do not naturally fit into societies conventions. I think this sense of feeling a connection with the past in gothic elements may also be expressed through Freud's protege Carl Jung's archetypes that I see as having a genetic connection on a evolutionary level passed down to each of us into our collective unconscious. In a sense I think we are also cultivating the gothic in our own lifetime for the future generations through our phenotypes that adapt according to our environment and interplay with our inherited genotypes. I feel a sense of jubilation and completeness when I experience gothic style in my life. This is the individuation process Jung described about the amalgamation of the conscious awareness and the dark unconscious states of minds that adds meaning to my life. It completes my true self at the centre of this vacuum of my mind called the psyche.
When the opportunity to vist Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham, knocks on your door and the conditions and criteria are no problem, it would be wise to take this opportunity . Consider this a pilgrimage for those who admire, love and appreciate gothic literature. Perhaps a visit may inspire. I would appreciate pleasing comments from any person who has visited Strawberry Hill House , thank you.
Supernatural motifs @ 7:38
Anyone has a link for the background music they're using ?
I've decided not to make my students watch this...
good
I think it's strange how reality tv and Instagram get more attention that such an excellent video.
i just got told to watch this for school so yep
I swear the song is called the river or something? I'm pretty sure we studied it and wrote stories to go with it in English a few year ago. I may be wrong though
the good place music lol
Very pleasant and interesting documentary !! :)
(I would also like to know where the background music comes from ^^)
Symbolic settings @ 1:45
What's the background music? It's familiar. it sound like "Aquarium" from Carnival of the Animals, but it's not it.
sounds like harry potter and just add magic
It might be Danny Elfman's score for Edward Scissorhands, featuring Johnny Depp
@@ananyaagrawal4097 Neither Harry Potter nor the mainstream friendly Twilight saga and Vampire Diaries series are really gothic : it's all CRAP!
Thank you! So much information and intelligence in such a short video.
Let me guess... Your an English teacher
CashewNut Games it’s you’re* I’m not even an English teacher but even I’m mad about that grammar
0 You must be either a neek or a 30 year old
Maybe someone can get in touch with the Library via twitter or something like that and ask them. Unfortunately I don't have a twitter account :/ Shazam doesn't know the song, which sucks
I am studying a litte bit about Walpole and I just find this video amazing :)
love this

Let's be real, most of us are here because of our English teachers
Yep

Yep

Not me
Does anyone know what the art depicted at 2:55 is called? Trying to find it online!
Hi there, this image is from the 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination', illustrated by Harry Clarke. The British Library shelfmark is 12703.i.44. You can find the full image in our Images Online gallery bit.ly/2Oumwj3. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the prompt reply and a great source, you guys are the best :)
What about the photo at 1:41 is it from a movie cuz it looks very familiar but just can't remember
It is the woman in black
It will be intersting to see if i can take elements of southern gothic and transpose it to small town and rural 70s/80s Oregon.
Years ago this music was the intro to "Tales of the Unexpected" series. I think.
Or was it the ITV Sherlock Holmes series?
Definitely not the Granada ITV Sherlock theme, though it is similar to some pieces used in the soundtrack.
I got forced to watch this by my ENGLISH TEACHER that is where all the bees came from
When I saw his face with 144p I thought he was david bowie... (ouch.)
Great video. Appalling sound quality. Forget to turn on lapel microphone?
very interesting,
Very good
Still no clue about where the music comes from ? :/
I really would love to hear it whole...

I think it's Danny Elfman's score for the movie Edward Scissorhands

What painting is that at 3.03?
It looks like the painting could be by the Irish artist and book illustrator Harry Clarke.
But I cannot be certain. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
Thanks William!
PhilNY15 You're welcome Just sorry I could not give you the title of the painting.
I will do some more research.
William Heywood I understand the trials and tribulations of research and you have given me more than I expected, it is a start and something, so you gave me a lot!
PhilNY15 That is very kind of you, but it was no trouble to me as I love Art and have a particular interest in "The golden age of book illustration" As well as Symbolist Art. But I am interested in Art in general.
I was happy to be of some help.
Got sent here by my teacher
What teacher?

Nope. I did
Pauline Brontë what was the first gothic novel
@@faizamalik2261 the first gothic novel was The Castle of Otranto, written by Horace Walpole around 1764
Yes
Colleen Cupido he was just the translator; it was written by a monk 😉
British gothic is very cool.
Why was Frankenstein never mentioned?
Frankenstein was mentionned when he spoke about landscapes in the gothic fiction.

1:57
This is what happens when you compel people to learn things instead of permitting and enabling them to learn.
