THE ROLE OF SETTING IN GOTHIC LITERATURE: PERSPECTIVE FROM INDIAN WRITERS

DR. ANAND KUMAR MINJ

Abstract

This research paper examines the role of setting in Gothic literature, focusing on how Indian writers have adapted and incorporated Gothic Convention within the unique Contexts of Indian Culture and landscape. The study reveals that Indian writers use setting not only to evoke fear and suspense but also to address broader social and Cultural issues, such as Colonialism, past colonial identity, and the clash between tradition and modernity. The findings highlight the versatility of the Gothic genre and its ability to transcend geographical and Cultural boundaries while still engaging with universal themes of fear, identify, and the unknown.
