Question

"Sonnet 29", William Shakespeare

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth

Answer 7

hmm, yeah. Because I have to do this "Choose a work of literature that you would identify as Gothic. Identify the title of the work and at least three characteristics that make the text a Gothic work. Explain how these characteristics are present in your chosen literary work. Your paragraph should be at least six sentences." and i don't know anything gothic literature like. and I was thinking maybe something modern I've read would be considered it but it can be from any time.
