WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND BY "GOTHIC"
An important element of gothic genere is setting in a castle or in modern filmaking a mansion, a new house... (it matters more to create a sense of claustrophobia and entrapment), this place is normally near to caves and has secret passages, trap doors, secret rooms... which do branching, claustrophobia and mistery to the strory.
The story has an uknown to have mystery, suspense... the plot is built around a mystery like an uknown parentage, disappereance or inexplicable events. Normally has an ancient prophecy which is obscure, partial, or confusing and it's connected with the castle or inhabitants.
The character may have a disturving dream vision or some phenomenon like a portent of coming events (a death...) . In modern fiction, a character might see something like a shadow figure and think that it was a dream.
The narration has overwhelmed emotions like terror, anger, sorrow and surprise expressed with cries, breathlessness, panic, raw nerves and screams.
The woman is often in distress, she's often the central figure of lonely, abandoned, and often is fainting, terrified or screaming and has no protector. She's too threatened by a male who has the power and demand she to do something intolerable like marry someone that she don't,love or commit a crime.
The metonymy is a subtype of metaphor, which something is used to stand for something else.
