Using vivid imagery, describe a gothic setting that could be symbolic. your description should be four to six sentences.

When I woke up, I realized that I had fainted, and that the room was dark now. I was alone, and the only light you could see was the moon, far and cold. I got up from the wooden floor, which was slippery. That is when I realized the room was wet, and looking towards the window, I saw that the glass had shattered into a million pieces, all lying around me, most likely due to the strong rain that was still falling on the dark and gloomy road that led to the farm. The window seemed to symbolize to me everything I had lost. I was alone, my love gone, my parents gone, no hope left for me on this Earth, and the window seemed to remind me how my life would never be the same.

Answer and Explanation:

Since gothic novels have an aura of mystery and suspense involving the characters, the most common setting for the plot are old places such as mansions, castles, cemeteries, dungeons, or even ruins. Even if the place does have inhabitants, they too tend to be surrounded by some mysterious quality, some connection with the spiritual world or something of the kind.

As we know, imagery is the use of words that appeal to the senses. The purpose of using imagery is to involve the reader by making descriptions more real and vivid. That helps create the mood for the story.

Having that information in mind, we could describe a gothic setting in the following manner:

At the very moment when the moon sighed in relief after its entrapped light was released by the dark clouds, the mansion came into sight. It stood pale against the black horizon, its wooden walls peeling as if to claim the rage with which the years passed. The windows were mostly blind eyes staring at nowhere, with the exception of one. Inside it, a flickering light sang to the traveler - a song of mermaids, a melody calling him in to spend the night.
