A review by dnietoperafan
The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole

5.0

This novel grabbed me from the start, and didn’t let go. Even if it’s a cliché, patriarcal, knight-in-shining-armour story, I still loved the way Walpole wrote in the gothic aspect of it. At times it’s a bit extravagant and doesn’t really make much sense, but to be honest, I loved exactly that.

I definitely cared about Matilda throughout the entire novel. She was my favourite out of all the characters. Theodore came in second. I am very excited about my Gothic Literature lesson talking about this book.
