i know .. although i felt that the winona ryder one followed the story alot more accurately than the 1930s one.. maybe because it was based on the play.. as well as the book

nah.. at my school we did othello, and now were doin aussie image ;)

i had a chat to my teacher, and she suggested i compare the text to the movies.. a new one and a old one. so i rented out the original 1930's Bela Legosi one; and the 1992 one with Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves. The 1930s one is soooo cheesy and funny :p

oh god. that just seals the deal. :p ill have a re-read of my dracula notes and see what hits me.. now that i have all this new found inspiration

lol Lucy Westenra? haha it seems like everything can b linked to franky. oh goddamn. :mad1: true about the identity thing.. im not really familiar with it.. which is kinda pathetic considering this is THE dr jekyll & mr hyde. i feel quite unintelligent right now. maybe i could do...

yeah dracula wasnt really a fun book to read. it was a long and arduous road lol. lol comparing dr jekyll and frankenstine would b interesting. focus! lol i read dracula so sticking to it. i wish i spent the earlier 1/2 of the year familiarising myself with other gothic texts, instead...

shame about wuthering heights.. it makes more sense the more i think about it.. i wish i had more time!!! any more options? lol i havent read frankenstine, my teacher seems pretty enthused about it. dont know whether thats a good or a bad thing though..

yeah franky is a set text that i think were starting next term so i might be able to get away with it. i love psycho but i dont thnk that its a good choice for this.. ill try wuthering heights.. does the movie adhere to the book well? i really dont have enough time to read the book. are...

i was thinking about psycho but somewhere along the line it got overlooked somehow. ill re-consider point about passions having no textual integrity but thats what society thought of gothic texts back in the day. god ill be quiet now and try to be open minded.

This sounds pretty pathetic, but for a upcoming assessment in which we must give a presentation about 2 gothic texts, ive chosen Dracula and the TV show Passions. Has any of you seen Passions? Its on 7 at 3 in the arvo.. Is it just me? or is this a modern manifestation of the gothic tradition...

I think we are going to be doin frankenstein next term.. that, or Bram Stoker's Dracula. so far weve done - The Castle Of Otranto - Horace Walpole Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen and a bit of Poe.. Anyone else done those?
