A2 Literature will be exploring a genre of Literature that is ambiguously defined as THE GOTHIC. Edgar Allan Poe's short story 'THE TELL TALE HEART' [ first published 1843 ] is often described as a gothic text. I am using Poe's tale to encourage a consideration of the gothic qualities of this text. The overwhelming question in the first Year 13 lesson of the year is: What is a gothic text?Below is a link to a classic animated interpretation of Poe's story narrated by James Mason. This animated film was created in 1953 and was the first animation to be rated 'X' by the BRITISH BOARD OF FILM CENSORS. This rating was an 'Adults Only' rating. Click on link below to access film:
