Question

Which of the elements of Gothic Fiction does the following passage from Irving's "The Devil and Tom Walker" contain? from Paragraph 4:...there were also dark and stagnant pools, the abodes of the tadpole, the bull-frog, and the water-snake, where the trunks of pines and hemlocks lay half-drowned, half -rotting... element 6 - supernatura levents: ghosts, unexplained sounds element 7-damsels in distress element 8-words designed to evoke images of gloom and doom

Answer 1

element 8 - words designed to evoke images of gloom and doom

Answer 2

The passage from "The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving uses descriptive language to create a dark and ominous atmosphere. Phrases like "dark and stagnant pools," "abodes of the tadpole, the bull-frog, and the water-snake," and "half-drowned, half-rotting trunks" are designed to evoke images of gloom and doom. This aligns with the Gothic Fiction element of using words to create a somber and foreboding mood.
