Read the excerpt from the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. round the corner from the by-street, there was a square of ancient, handsome houses, now for the most part decayed from their high estate and let in flats and chambers to all sorts and conditions of men; map-engravers, architects, shady lawyers and the agents of obscure enterprises. one house, however, second from the corner, was still occupied entire . . in what way is this setting characteristic of gothic fiction? the homes have deteriorated from their original grandness. the street is busy with the activity of local traders. the homes have been transformed into places of business. the street is renowned for its wealthy occupants.

The correct answer is A.

Goth fiction is known for addressing themes such as ruin, chaos, death, decay and deterioration.

This setting is characteristic of this genre because it pressents houses that used to be beautiful and impressive that have now fallen into decay and create a dark and gloomy image.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
